Not in 1.2. (I qualify it, because the development version
of GTK+ does have that capability, so it will appear eventaually)

GtkCombo is generally friendlier on the user, since most people
don't really like clicking arrows lots and lots of times. ;-)
You can also use a GtkOptionMenu which is a slightly different variant
on the theme. (But that is limited by the fact that Gtk menus
don't scroll).
