Description

According to the source code, the 'compose' plugin reads "compose.dir" to get locale - compose mappings. On my system the file contains this line for my language (Slovak):

en_US.UTF-8/Compose sk_SK.UTF-8

As you can see, my locale is sk_SK.utf8 (without the dash), so it doesn't find the compose file and it's not possible to use dead keys at all.

I noticed there's a file called "locale.alias" in the same directory as "compose.dir". I wrote a patch that reads this file to resolve aliases, but I'm not sure if this is the right solution.
