Hi, I really appreciate your tips. And yes that is what I ended up
doing. I looked at the gtkcombo.c source but it uses the old GtkList
and the GtkCList seems to not behave properly when I want to grab it.

So I ended up employing a timeout callback when the button was pressed
and the clist window was mapped and checking pointer position then
scrolling and selecting based on it.

PS, sorry if my posts didn't come out right, I'm having trouble
posting to the GTK+ list today.
