I do not know where gconf saves this data, but with the program
"gnome-keyboard-properties" (hit ALT+F2 then enter
gnome-keyboard-properties) on the tap Layout options, there you can
define the key mapped to compose easily.
e.g. i have mapped my compose key to caps lock which i usually never use.

Now i type:  Caps lock then e then ´ to get  é  ;)

it might be helpful to you
