Well...the new widget was implemented in the 2.2.6 source tree,  
conditionally on Gtk-2.4 being installed.  You probably were  
already using it.  The previous widget was a hacked GtkEntry that  
offered the completions inline.

But in both 2.2.6 and 2.3.0 you shouldn't need to reach for your  
mouse!  Cursor-down gets you into the list of completions, and  
Enter selects the highlighted one.
