Yes, adding a "g_signal_connect" for the child works OK. However, I =
believe
that the developer user who is using Glade should be in control, rather =
than
that I am having to make arbitrary exceptions in C-code. How do I know =
if
the signal is for the child or parent? All should work using the =
libglade
"glade_xml_signal_autoconnect" function. In the current implementation I =
can
work around that by putting a prefix or suffix to the signal for =
instance
indicating that this signal is meant for the child. This is probably =
going
to be messy, so even though I like the new single widget implementation =
of
the GtkComboBoxEntry opposed to the old OptionMeny, I think the =
possibility
of selecting the child widget in Glade has to be available for reasons =
just
described.

Thanks for response Damon.
