How to configure compose key in Ubuntu 14.04
I frequently use the compose key to type special characters. I now have a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04, and in the keyboard settings it says "compose key: disabled". I can't find how to set the compose key.

You will need to install dconf Editor from the Ubuntu Software Centre so it will appear in your applications.
If you use an applications list it appears under Sundry or if not in your Activities Overview (type dconf in the ~type to search~ box).
There are other ways of achieving your aim but this is a simple gui method not needing terminal skills.
$ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options "['compose:{key}']"
where {key} is your chosen key-name (e.g. "['compose:ralt']" would make right alt your compose key.

For completeness of this answer (mentioned in other answer): xkboptions can be found atorg > gnome > desktop > input-sources. Options for key can be found in the manpage forxkeyboard-config, which can be found by typingman xkeyboard-configin a terminal, or in this page: dsm.fordham.edu/cgi-bin/…. Search for "Compose key" (which can be done in the terminal manpage by pressing/and then typing your query, followed by enter).

The downside of this is that not every key is available: right ctrl/alt/win, left ctrl, menu, or caps lock. I, for one, prefer the Scroll Lock key to be the compose key.

@ElefantPhace This is definitely a nicer option, but at least the accepted answer has the benefit that it will probably work even after another interface change (which wouldn't surprise me since, after all, it's not really clear at all why the position of a key would be considered a shortcut.

From Ubuntu 14.04
Sundry → dconf → org → gnome → desktop → input-sources → xkboptions
e.g. to set the Alt Gr key as compose:
['compose:ralt']

I'm sorry, I need more help. The only "Sundry" I can find is a file named X-GNOME-Sundry.directory but it doesn't contain a directory name.

When you start the dconf editor, select the down pointing triangles in this order: org, desktop, input-sources all within the left pane. Each of these expands a menu where you can select the next option. After you pick input-sources, you will see the xkboptions in the right panel, select that and you can enter your choice as outlined above.

Just click on the "disabled" and choose any of the available keys in the appeared drop-down list. Than you can hit the key and type key combinations. For example
<Key> o / gives ø symbol.
<Key> . . gives … symbol
<Key> a ' gives à
and so one

@ElefantPhace This is definitely a nicer option, but at least the accepted answer has the benefit that it will probably work even after another interface change (which wouldn't surprise me since, after all, it's not really clear at all why the position of a key would be considered a shortcut.

['compose:ralt']

I'm sorry, I need more help. The only "Sundry" I can find is a file named X-GNOME-Sundry.directory but it doesn't contain a directory name.

When you start the dconf editor, select the down pointing triangles in this order: org, desktop, input-sources all within the left pane. Each of these expands a menu where you can select the next option. After you pick input-sources, you will see the xkboptions in the right panel, select that and you can enter your choice as outlined above.

Just click on the "disabled" and choose any of the available keys in the appeared drop-down list. Than you can hit the key and type key combinations. For example
<Key> o / gives ø symbol.
<Key> . . gives … symbol
<Key> a ' gives à
and so one
