So, I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 MATE, and Compose key simply refuses to work but only in X. When I Ctrl+Alt+F2 and login via the console, it works fine, because the rule is setup in /etc/default/keyboard to:
XKBOPTIONS="compose:lwin,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
Now, I've tried looking at the event generation in xev, and actually, there is a composition but then it's dropped. Here's the output:
