It seems to me that this is a per-user setting: one particular group of 
people needs a particular group of additional symbols. Because of that, 
it seems to me that it would be bad to integrate this into eg. base 
Russian keymap, because one other Russian might want to use those same 
compose keys for typing Bulgarian, Macedonian or Serbian (or any other 
language with sufficiently similar character set, but entirely different 
keyboard layout, so keymaps are unusable).

So I think this should be user configurable, and if Gnome provided a 
keyboard layout manager based on XKB, I'd like it to provide such 
customizations (gswitchit might already provide it -- I don't really know).

Cheers,
