After
$ setxkbmap -variant altgr-intl -option compose:menu

I can enter unicode characters with Menu everywhere except emacs

Starting emacs with
$ env -u XMODIFIERS emacs

makes it work
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/24.3/etc/DEBUG.

Will you have access to a working machine in the foreseeable future?
Otherwise it looks like it will be hard to make any progress here.

Thanks.

Sorry Stefan

Right now I only have an emacs 27 on a windows box.
(it had a Ubuntu 20 with corresponding emacs on a VM... Which crashed last
night 😐)

So... Sorry

Thanks.  So I guess we will have a hard time making any progress here,
and I'm closing this bug.  If you see this again, please open a new bug.

Managed to check an Emacs 28.0.50

With XMODIFIERS set to uim it works
But set to xim I get
<Multi_key> is undefined

It works in bash and libreoffice

Theres much more wrong in this emacs: See bug 44167
So not reopening
