If you can use Glade 3.10 and GTK+3 and pygobject... then better use
GtkComboBoxText instead, you can easily add text to the 'comboboxtext'
in Glade or use the combo box apis in python to add items.

Otherwise, using a straight GtkComboBox in Glade I think you need 
to setup a cell renderer in the GtkComboBox and tell it to get the 
text from column '0' for the above python code to have a chance to
work... (you can get there by right clicking the combo-box and
selecting "Edit...", add renderers in the Hierarchy tab).
