No no no, the combo is for when you can also type something in the box, if
you have a fixed option set you should use option menu. Combo doesn't make
a shred of sense if you can't type in the box (why does it look like an
entry if you can't type?). :-)

GtkMenu is broken in this respect and it's nice to finally see a patch.
