<offtopic>
I need <dead_acute> <c> to produce "=C3=A7", not "=C4=87".

Some distributions come with two Compose files for UTF-8 locales: the=20
en_US.UTF-8 and the pt_BR.UTF-8 one. The latter is exactly like the=20
former, with that change. The former is used for all locales, except=20
pt_BR.UTF-8.

Somehow, that seems to get constantly broken on upgrade.

Oh, no, I never meant that. AltGr cannot be used as a modifier for further=
=20
shortcuts. We can't do that because AltGr by itself might be necessary to=20
compose some of the shortcuts we do define.

=46or instance, Alt+@ in a Norwegian keyboard would be produced with=20
Alt+AltGr+2.

Maybe we should start using "Ctrl+=E2=82=AC", "Ctrl+Shift+=C3=B8" as shortc=
uts :-)
