As I said earlier I do not need this functionality. I was just curious.
As long as the option to use a compose key keeps working for a standard
US keyboard I am happy as I just need the compose key for diacriticals
in the western European languages. A standard US keyboard works best
for me, NOT the US international or the UK one (I once tried the UK and
got some weird surprises). So I am certainly not 'going to create my
own layout'. My quest stops here. Thanks to everybody for replying.

This aside I am surprised these options are given in Gnome/KDE/etc 
without further explanation if it is so complicated and so dependent
on the choice of keyboard and/or it's layout.

And I don't understand the remarks about the keypad. I have never seen
a keypad with $/€/%/& signs (and I hate keypads (especially on laptops)
they make you sit "twisted" and on a loose keyboard they also take away
mouse room (and strain the upper arm muscles)). 
(And I have had enough occasion to use numbers: data analysis,
 simulation/research and such and the "top row" has always been
 sufficient for my needs).

This is in reply to Samuel Sieb but also to everybody who replied.
