Why would you want to "reset" a combo box from the user interface? Even
if one ignores the fact that such a change would (possibly) break quite
a lot of applications, it doesn't seem to be very useful at all. If an
application offers a "reset"-state to the user, it'll usually include a
"None"/"Disabled" item in the combobox' model.
