I use the entry widget for displaying the path of the some file, and 
there is also "Browse" button, which is used for specifying this path 
using Gtk::FileChooserDialog.
And they(entry & button) must have the same height. The height of the 
button depends from the icon, which it contain.
You can understand what i want if you look on Gtk::ComboBox widget.
