  I think the standard is to capture the "changed" event from the entry part
of the combo...

GtkWidget *mycombo,*myentry;
mycombo=gtk_combo_new();

<snip.  fill combo, etc.>

  /* hook your callback to the combo's text entry sub-widget. */
myentry=GTK_COMBO(mycombo)->entry;
gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(myentry),"changed",
                                   GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(mycallback),NULL);
