clearing a combo box

[jca <jca mail phm vcu edu>]

  I have to clear and rebuild the same combo box several times during my
program, and am using this:

void clear_combo(GtkCombo *combo)
/* **********************************************************
* Temporary until something better comes along.
********************************************************** */
{
  if(GTK_LIST(combo->list)){
    gtk_list_clear_items(GTK_LIST(combo->list),0,-1);
    printf("combo list cleared.\n");
  }else{
    printf("combo list empty.\n");
  }
}/* clear_combo */

  It works fine, but I doubt it is kosher memorywise because the string
items in the combo are all declared dymanically.  What's a standard,
nice way of clearing out a combo box?

  Thanks,
John
