I think that the combobox is lacking some API that would make this
possible.  In fact, I needed to do something similar recently with some
stuff I put in gnome-media.  So maybe it would be better to think in
terms of something that can be added to gtk-combo and would be
generically available from GTK, than a very custom solution for the file
chooser combo box ?

Feel free to put me in my place if I missed the point of the mail :)
