You have to specify what column in the list to display, just like in the
treeviews. One more step should be enough:

GtkCellRenderer *renderer = gtk_cell_renderer_text_new ();
gtk_cell_layout_pack_start (GTK_CELL_LAYOUT (MyComboBox), renderer,
TRUE);
gtk_cell_layout_add_attribute (GTK_CELL_LAYOUT (MyComboBox), renderer,
"text", 0);
