Except that for some reason, XKB Compose doesn't work for me in Emacs...

Plus, hitting <AltGr " a> is still one key press more than <" a>. Of course I
could use an X keyboard layout that has dead keys, but that has its own
problems.

And, as tomas says, Emacs' input methods are more powerful and much easier to
adapt.
