You can use the keyboard preferences GUI, and play with the layout
options to set which key is the compose key. Alt + Shift never worked
for me, so I used the (otherwise) useless right-Windows key. My
preferences seem to be set, by it, in this file:
/home/tim/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/%gconf.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="options" mtime="1173340595" type="list" ltype="string">
<li type="string">
<stringvalue>Compose key compose:rwin</stringvalue>
</li>
</entry>
</gconf>
