GtkCombo isn't deprecated in 2.2 but we expect to have a replacement
for it in 2.4 and it will be deprecated then.

Basically go ahead and use it for now, there's no other widget for
that. (Unless your combo isn't editable, in which case you should be
using GtkOptionMenu. GtkOptionMenu will also be deprecated in favor
for the new 2.4 widget but GtkOptionMenu is a much better-implemented
widget and also the right UI for noneditable sets of choices.)
