Seems like a normal gtk.ComboboxEntry to me.
Is it possible to write the history not in an additional popup but in
that one gtk.ComboboxEntry has?

Well, the history data model is just a gtk.ListStore so I think you can get a way with a lot of things. But I think you have to make the entry ui a combobox entry if you wanna go that way, that is probably going to look wierd..?

If you wan't to look at how to do this you should look at gtk-entry-completion.c in the gtk source files. The navigation/focus stuff of gtk_entry_completion is one big hack - (how deskbar does it is an even bigger hack (that must never be mentioned again))...
