They Compose Key documentation says:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey

...
4. From [Layouts] tab click Options... (or Layout Options... pre 10.04)
5. Expand the listing of Compose key position options [+].
6. if no box is ticked then the Shift+AltGr (Right Alt Key) is the Compose key (also called the Multi_Key in Xwindow documentation).

I have Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit but Shift+AltGr does not work as Compose key (I have tried both left and right Shift). I have tested this both with the English (US) and Czech (qwerty) keyboards.

In System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Typing if I define Compose Key to Right Ctrl or Caps Lock then it works with the selected key as expected.

Below is xev otput with System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Typing > Compose Key set to Disabled.

Working compose key mapping (e.g. on right Ctrl) shows the compose key keysym as "Multi_key".
