from what i can tell you are correct. i'll work up bindings for GtkList here
in a few minutes that should provide the necessary functionality. i must agree
that it seems odd to have a widget using a deprecated widget as one of it's
members. especially since it would seem a reasonable endeavor to convert the
combo box's list member, but anyway...

i'll send out to the list when i get this done. if there's a reason not to do
so someone speak up and let me know.
