Interesting.  Thanks for your effort on this bug!

Agreed. The GTK folks are pretty busy anyway so fixing a new bug in a GTK1
widget may never happen.

Let's replace GtkCombo with GtkComboBox in 2.4/2.6+ and avoid this bug while
possibly gaining additional functionality.

Do we need to delay 0.99.7 to make these changes?  I'd be happy to help.  Or
would it be easier to downgrade GTK for 0.99.7 then work on it for 0.99.8?  The
latter is probably the easiest and quickest.
