Are you sure you mean Column and not Row?

To me, the most logical thing you would ever want to make insensitive is
an item in the model.  I can see perhaps see a reason for insensitive
columns in a fully blown GtkTreeView implementation (e.g. with 7
columns), but you only show one column for a GtkComboBox (unless you
modify the GtkCellLayout which most people do not).

If you have a special case in mind, perhaps you can do what you need
with gtk_cell_layout_set_cell_data_func ()?
