I don't see how this is different from having a grid with the names
in tooltips ?

The applier vs selector behavior of the combo is application
specific.  In Gnumeric due to the fragmented nature of its selection
it is easier to frame it as an applier, but the behavior could just
as easily be different.  The difference arises because I do not
update the colour combos when the selection moves.  That is my
choice, or more specificly a choice of MS Office that I happen to
agree with.
