I do more or less the same except that I used radiobuttons... 
It works fine, the only problem is the one mentioned in my previous
email: 
If a selection has not yet been made (using the mouse), the first menu
item is always the selected one, no matter what I've passed using
gtk_option_menu_set_history() before.

Any idea 'bout this?

Just another thing. Whatfor do you use this code-line? I don't
understand it.
i = CLIP( 0, option->value, nitems - 1 );

Thanks again,
