How do I get compose key work in Emacs?

emacs

Solution

I'm addicted to the compose key and am using Debian while developping Emacs, so if the compose key doesn't work in your case, it's a weird bug. Please report it via M-x report-emacs-bug, providing as much detail as you can so we can try and reproduce it.

Problem

I am using Debian testing (wheezy) with emacs23. I mapped compose key to the right Windows key (Multi_key). The compose key works in shell, but not in emacs. How do I tell emacs to honor it?
