You restarted X after adding the lv3 thing to xorg.conf?

You can try this to avoid restarting X:

setxkbmap -layout de -option "compose:menu,lv3:ralt_switch"

That will set up things so composing uses the menu (windows) key, and
level3 uses right alt.

The XKB setup changed significantly between 6.8 and 7.0 -- lots of
things that used to work no longer do. You need to figure out the new
way to do whatever you used to do.
