Argh, you're right - so does encompass. I also looked at agnubis, and it
only pulls in the gtk_combo_* function:

gtk_combo_box_get_type
gtk_combo_box_set_title
gtk_combo_stack_new
gtk_combo_text_add_item
gtk_combo_text_get_type
gtk_combo_text_new
gtk_combo_text_select_item

Which may be portable to gtk+ 2.4 - but those symbols were not in libegg
:/ (yes I did cut of the initial gtk :P)

What I'm worried about is the widgets that may be usefull to other apps.
Ie, the color_combo(_box), which I can see apps like gnumeric, abiword
and others use. Actually, gnumeric uses one that looks exactly like the
one in evolution. So what _do_ those apps use ATM? One of these imple-
mentations should probably be moved to the gnome-office library when
jody splits it out of gnumeric I guess, or possibly some other lib.
