I guess I should have been a little more specific about the exact
failure.  I press the Compose key and two more keys, provoking no
response at all from xfce4-terminal, but any following keys act
normally.  I'm pretty sure it all worked under FBSD 11.3, and it
started to fail some time after I upgraded to 11.4 (don't quote me
on that) and hasn't worked since I upgraded to 12.1.  (By the way,
the same failure afflicts plain xterm.)                -- George
