Thanks Jens, I've now tested your new packages on two test systems and the
issue seems to be solved! I'll document some additional details below if
someone happens to struggle with this one in the future.

After installing gtk2-immodule-xim and disabling any Input Method (if in use)
one just needs to logout and login with an appropriate language and X compose
sequences should thenbe in use also in GTK applications. User experience
between GTK and non-GTK applications is now consistent.

In practice one can either choose an appropriate (native) language for the
whole session at GDM login prompt (like Brazilian Portuguese or Finnish) which
will set up LANG environment variable or adjust LC_CTYPE in a shell init script
allowing use of a language like US English for the session but still having
native compose sequences. The only limitation seems to be that one can't set
LC_CTYPE per window basis but needs it for the whole session but I don't think
that's a problem, really.

Should there be any issues still checking 'locale´ output might give some clues
as well as contents of ~/.dmrc.
