The specification for XLookupString() provides a hook for creating
special characters from multiple keystrokes.  The MIT sample
implementation of XLookupString() does not do this, but several other
implementations do allow you to create "compose" characters.  DEC's
Xlib does this and I've been told (but I have not checked) that Sun's
does, also.  Check with your Xlib vendor.
