Depends on what you mean with 'locale settings' here.

If you don't use an input method framework like scim or ibus (or iiimf or xim
or whatever else is in vogue) you get whatever compose sequences that method
provides, which may depend on your locale or not. 

If you don't use an input method framework, GTK+ uses its builtin simple input
method, which has a large, but fixed table of compose sequences. 

This has always been the case. Nothing has changed in GTK+ here.
