There is a new GtkComboBox widget in CVS which will replace
GtkCombo and GtkOptionMenu for GTK+-2.4. But what I was
saying was not that you should be using something different,
but rather saying that RFE's for GtkCombo won't be accepted.

And your bug report was an RFE - "I want to be able to 
catch key press events on combo->popwin and change them to do
something different than what the widget would normally do".

I really have no idea what you were trying to accomplish, but I 
doubt it was essential to the operation of your user interface...
generally GTK+ programming is the art of combining existing
standard elements to make a nice user interface.
