$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11
$ cd libX11/nls
$ $ for i in *; do if [ -d $i -a -s $i/Compose.pre ]; then if ! grep -q "This
file currently has no entries." $i/Compose.pre ; then  echo $i; fi; fi; done |
grep UTF
am_ET.UTF-8
el_GR.UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8
fi_FI.UTF-8
pt_BR.UTF-8
ru_RU.UTF-8
$ 

Those seem to be the only UTF-8 locales with actual compose sequences.

pt_BR and fi_FI are already covered.  I am pretty user
regular en_US users don't need it by default.  am_ET was for
OLPC and can be handled otherwise I think.  That leaves just
ru_RU and el_GR, which can be added later if necessary.
So in conclusion special-casing X compose seems to make
good sense for now.

Though Marko Myllynen told me about http://www.csc.fi/english/pages/meek
which might lead to more compose usage in the EU in the future perhaps.
