Outstanding bug with GtkComboBoxEntry

[Daniel Kasak <dan entropy homelinux org>]

Hi all.

I reported a critical bug ( 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156017 ) in GtkComboBoxEntry 
that is preventing users from using the keyboard for Combos.

Basically, if the keyboard is used to type into the Combo's child ( 
entry ), the corresponding iter of the combo is never set active, even 
if the text matches. This is causing me *great* pain as I have users who 
claim they are much faster using the keyboard exclusively ... and I tend 
to agree with them. So I have to jump through hoops attaching code to 
each Combo's child to manually set the correct iter active so when I 
return to read it later, I actually get the correct value.

As mentioned, I consider this a *critical* bug in GtkComboBoxEntry's 
functioning. What's more, the fix is surely simply. Unfortunately, I'm a 
Perl programmer, and can't program in C. Matthias Clasen posted 
something to the bug almost a year ago, but either this wasn't applied, 
or does not work.

Can someone please have a look?

Thanks.

Dan
