Yes, it's just a new combo box, but the text combo has some form of
completion. Remember that there's more than 1 combo box there (and one

The list of alternatives popup, which is a list of matching items, is in
EggEntry. Lists of alternatives popups and "normal" combo popups differ
in behaviour. For example, the "normal" combo popups have some evil
