I'm currently running acme on Debian using plan9port. I've tried using
X11's alt-typing (not sure if that's what it's actually called), and
acme isn't doing squat. I'll probably never have an actual use for it,
but it would be nice to know.

Works here (on Arch, but I used the same on FreeBSD and Debian) with this
in my .xinitrc:
9 mklatinkbd -x $PLAN9/lib/keyboard >$HOME/.XCompose
xmodmap -e 'keycode 108 = Multi_key'
# for GNOME and QT programs, add
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
# https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/39547/dead-compose-keys-not-working-in-gtk-apps-since-upgrade/65755#65755
export XMODIFIERS=@im=none
Typing ALT, X, four hexadecimal digits works in Acme but not in
Firefox for example. The shorthands listed in
$PLAN9/lib/keyboard do.
Mark.

Just ran the command below and it worked! Thanks, Mark.
