I'm giving a try to MATE on my new install. I want to use XMonad as WM. I can set it fine within MATE, but my compose key doesn't seem to have any effect so I'm stuck after I log in.
I suppose the desktop environment comes in between my input and XMonad. I have been running a bare XMonad without any desktop environment for years so I think my good old xmonad.hs is fine.
Moreover when I launch bare xmonad without MATE the compose key runs fine.
I tried setting xkb options through
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources input-sources "['compose:menu']"with no result (when I run bare wm it's `setxkbmap -option compose:menu`).
edit: when I run `xmonad --replace` from a terminal within a regular mate session (with marco wm), XMonad takes over just fine.
