Compose *does* work with scim for quite a while now.

Only the compose table is hardcoded in the scim sources.
The compose table which was used for the hardcoding was something
around the time of SLES10. Since then the X11 Compose table has changed
slightly so there are a few minor differences in key-sequences between
the Compose support in X11 and SCIM now. But not many, in most cases
you won't notice any difference. 

I have a perl script to parse the X11 Compose table at build time of
scim form the X11 Compose table of the system where scim is built and
convert it into the file format scim uses for hardcoding the compose
table.  But I never found the time to add that to the SuSE scim package.

One could also ready the compose table at runtime, but that would
cost a little bit of performance.
