thats because i didn't even bother to read the posted example, which
is completely wrong. the GtkCombo *requires* a GList of char *,
nothing else will do. you'll need to find some other method if you
want to associate strings with data pointers. 

typically, i use a static array of strings, and then scan the array
for the chosen string. this gives me an index, which i can use to
access some array of data pointers. but there are lots of other ways
to do it.
