GtkComboBox itself exist only since 2.4.  If you want your
app work with older Gtk+, use GtkOptionMenu.

If you only use the simple text-combo-box interface, it
should be quite easy to write construction, get-active, and
set-active wrapper functions for GtkOptionMenu and
GtkComboBox methods -- so you would use GtkComboBox on
newer Gtk+ and GtkOptionMenu on older without littering the
code with #ifdefs.

Or just use GtkOptionMenu everywhere if you only need the
simple interface.  And if you need the advanced GtkComboBox
interface... tell your users to install Gtk 2.6+ or install
it with your app.
