What "persistent history" feature? I don't see anything here:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/libgnomeui/gnomeentry.html

I guess you are saying that Gnome::UI::GnomeEntry::set_history():
http://www.gtkmm.org/gnomemm2/reference/html/classGnome_1_1UI_1_1Entry.html#
a6
doesn't work.

You're probably the only person who has tried it. I'm not sure what
GnomeEntry is supposed to do, but if you have an example or test case then
maybe we could investigate for you. It would be nice to compare it to the
same thing in C.
