(This bug report unfortunately got no response at the time.)

I had a look at the emacs-devel URL, but I'm still not quite sure in
what circumstances Emacs sends `compound-text' to other X clients.  Is
this something you still see in more recent Emacs versions, and if so --
do you have a recipe to reproduce this bug?
