Dear Bug Team!
pressing, e.g., multi-key a C-h
in xemacs-21.5.b20 does not pop up a window with help for the
keymap completion for the x-compose keymap
it works in xemacs-21.4.17

I would be energetically interested in this issue, but I can’t reproduce
it. What keyboard layout are you using? And if you can relate physical keys

i use US keyboards from day 0, so i need an input method to have
those èá in my italian texts --- when using XEmacs in X the method i
use is x-compose
the keysym used by x-compose to start its keymap is multikey
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>

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>
i tried it on 21.4-17 and on 21.5-b20 and, the first one recognized
the multikey keypress-event, while the second shouts
#<keypress-event onehalf>...
isn't it suggesting that there's an involvment of XEmacs, somehow
somewhere?

Yup. Thanks for the clarification. There have been a number of
changes in the event processing, and there are more to come, I suspect.

I would be energetically interested in this issue, but I can't
reproduce it.
what happens when you press the three keys "multi-key" "a"
"C-h" ?
What keyboard layout are you using?
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
i have also the following line in my .xmodmap
keycode 0x71 = Multi_key
And if you can relate physical keys to some English-language
layout, that would be even more helpful.
i have an english language layout
xemacs-21.5 is mule-enabled, xemacs-21.4 is not, and the help on
keymap completion does not work in 21.5, while it works in 21.4
