previous XEmacs versions (21.4.x) and older betas all supported help
on x-compose keymaps, i.e., starting a key sequence with multikey
followed by another letter and pressing C-h pops a help window with
all the available completions (just like it is with all the keymaps)
when i try the same thing in recent betas, i get no help window
Are you sure that this is an XEmacs issue? Or, more precisely, are you
sure that x-compose is actually being used?
I had the same experience (i.e. Compose C-h used to bring up a list of
bindings, then it stopped working). It turned out that the reason was
that I had started using a newer version of XFree86 which did its own
composition, so XEmacs only ever got to see the final (composed)
event, whereas before it used to get the individual events and compose
them itself.
E.g. If I do:
M-: (next-command-event) RET
Compose 1 2
I get:
#<keypress-event onehalf>
