Hello,

I am working on a Qt project and recently I decided to create an input meth=
od plugin for the X11 Compose keys.

Reasons:
- don't want to port XIM (which heavily depends on Xlib) to xcb platform pl=
ugin.
- having a built-in support for Compose keys would remove the overhead of c=
ommunication protocols.

Work in progress: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,48185

I am writing here for feedback and advice, and hope to get some answers to =
my questions. I have been using
Linux only for 2 years and started to look at Xlib/xcb API only ~6 months b=
ack, so bear with me.

I was wondering how does Xlib resolve the path to search for Compose files?=
 I can see that after running
configure on libX11, it generates the Compose.5 file, whereas for Ubuntu it=
 says:

"The system provided compose file is used by mapping the locale to a compos=
e file from the list in /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir."

I guess this location differs on other distributions? How is it determined =
by Xlib?

Thanks,
Gatis
