Well, it seems you are on the right track here!

I tried changing my SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN value from gen (generic X11) to
kde and gtk and voila the compose key has magically reappeared. Great!

However, now I am faced with another problem. This made me remember why
I choose "gen" in the first place. If I use either "kde" or "gtk" some
widgets (notably comboboxes and menu spearators) in the UI become very
coarse and ugly (which I could live with if necessary) and in some cases
even unusable (which is more problematic). Anyone else noticed this?
