They idea is that it works WITH deadkeys (or did you mean that). I.e.
typing ~ n should give ñ.

The Compose key is called "Multi_Key" in X but I guess that is not the
problem (to be more correct: the "Compose" key must generate the
"Multi_key" keysym) . May be it has something to with the fact that it
uses a modifier key.

Unfortunately not. It is of paramount importance that the combination
of C code and lisp code gets tested (the 21.0 lisp code probably won't
even work on 20.4) as this was exactly the cause of the previous problems.
