Re: GtkComboBoxEntry alignment

["Ian King [ES]" <king eiffel com>]

Hi Matthias,

I should be able to do that but can't because none of those functions 
you mention actually reset entry_box->priv->text_renderer to my new text 
renderer. It is still referenced even if you do a clear_layout(), all 
set_text_column() does is to call gtk_cell_layout_set_attributes() on 
entry_box->priv->text_renderer after setting the appropriate text_column 
int. As I said this needs to be done as it is still accessed but the 
GtkComboBoxEntry widget.  I guess the API that is missing is the ability 
to query the items in a gtk_cell_layout implementer, or is this already 
possible?

Thanks for your time

Ian
