Unfortunatly, this is close to impossible (if not impossible).

The gtkcombobox code creates a popup window to display the
treeview, and that is all on a private struct declared in the
C source (not header)... so I see no way of getting to that widget :(

Maybe you can achive a "one shot selection" kind of functionality if
you make sure to clear the selection after using it every time ?
(so the selection "always changes")
