Unfortunately, it's not a property of the X server, it's a property of the
version of libX11.a that you link with; so in your case, it depends on the
machine that application in question was compiled / is being run on, not 
the fact that you have an NCD server.

The OpenWindows Xlib, and those from DEC and HP (I think), and probably
others, understand the Multi_key, so all you need to do for them is add
that keysym to your keyboard, but the MIT R4 and R5 Xlibs do not.  (But
there's a patch for this on export.)
