| +.SS "X WINDOWS |
| +Under X Windows, both the Alt key and the ``Multi key'' |
| +can begin a compose sequence in a Plan 9 program. |
| +.PP |
| +It is also possible to configure X Windows to use the |
| +same keystroke mappings as the Plan 9 programs. |
| +First, generate an XCompose sequence list by using |
| +.IR mklatinkbd : |
| +.IP |
| +.EX |
| +mklatinkbd -x $PLAN9/lib/keyboard >$HOME/.XCompose |
| +.EE |
| +.LP |
| +Second, configure a ``Multi key'' by running |
| +.IP |
| +.EX |
| +xmodmap -e 'keysym Super_L = Multi_key' |
| +.EE |
| +.LP |
| +(The name |
| +.L Super_L |
| +typically denotes the Windows key on recent keyboards.) |
| +.PP |
| +Third, set these environment variables so that GTK- and QT-based programs |
| +will use the compose sequences: |
| +.IP |
| +.EX |
| +export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim |
| +export QT_IM_MODULE=xim |
| +.EE |
| +.LP |
| +Finally, start a new GTK- or QT-based program: |
| +.IP |
| +.EX |
| +gnome-terminal & |
| +.EE |
| +.LP |
| +In that terminal, typing the key sequence |
| +.RB ` Windows |
| +.B * |
| +.BR a ' |
| +should be interpreted as the Greek letter |
| +.LR α . |

| +If using the GNOME Window Manager, put the |
| +.B xmodmap |
| +and |
| +.B export |
| +commands into the file |
| +.B $HOME/.gnomerc |
| +to run them automatically at startup. |
