--- Comment #6 from Philip Webb <purslow at ca.inter.net> ---
Following my previous report, I started the KDE desktop & used 'htop' to list
running processes.
The KDE processes were : kaccess# kuiserver# plasma-desktop knotify4#
kactivitymanagerd# kded4 ksmserver kwin klauncher* dbus-daemon* dbus-launch*. 
I then closed KDE & restarted Fluxbox & checked again with 'htop', which showed
the last 3 (marked *) running.  From a terminal (Konsole), I tried successively
starting the other processes in the list : those marked # started without
incident, but the compose key still had no effect in Kwrite ;  kded4 said it
was already running ; kwin said a window-manager was already running & did not
start ; ksmserver & plasma-desktop started a KDE panel & disrupted Fluxbox, at
which I dropped out of X & rebooted.

The conclusion seems to be that the compose key works only if the KDE desktop
is running.
That looks like a serious bug, as KDE apps like Kwrite (Kate) & Konsole are
supposed to work properly with other desktop environments or window managers,
which is why it's now called "KDE-SC" = "KDE software collection".
