If you put following in your .XCompose:
<Shift_R> <o> : odiaeresis
<Shift_L> : BackSpace
you can enter ö by pressing and releasing the right Shift key, and then
pressing o, and you can create a backspace by pressing and releasing the
left Shift key. Note that not all programs handle non-symbol keysyms
like BackSpace created from the compose mechanism, but emacs, for
example, does.
