Regardless of where I put setxkbmap, xev shows this sequence of events

The same sequence in an xfce4-terminal window shows nothing, but
any following keypresses act normally.
I removed the setxkbmap command from my .cshrc and used the XFCE
keyboard settings to set the compose key to Left Win. Then I logged
out and back in. I verified that the keyboard settings dialog still
showed that Left Win was used for the compose key. But it does not
work at all. When I type Left Win, ', e in xfce4-terminal (or in
any other client in my session), it shows 'e. Xev shows the three
keypresses and releases but no e with acute accent. -- George
