I assume that text drawing (combo box uses GtkCellView AFAIK, which uses
cell renderers in turn, which use Pango) requests height for full line of
text, including interline spacing.  Or maybe not.  In any case, I think
this padding is the result of font metrics and is impossible to chunk out
without some really major, far-stretching and ugly hacks.
