    Description

      The warning `Qt Warning: XCOMPOSEFILE doesn't point to a valid Compose file` is generated when the compose file does not explicitly end with 'Compose'.

      The code responsible for this test is `src/plugins/platforminputcontexts/compose/generator/qtablegenerator.cpp:93`:
      `if (composeFile.endsWith(QLatin1String("Compose")))`

      Currently my setup complies with the XDG Base Directory specifiction but uses `XDG_CONFIG_HOME/X11/xcompose` instead of `HOME/.XCompose`

      Due to this requirement on explicitly ending filenames with 'Compose' my compose file is deemed invalid and rejected.
