It cannot, there also undeclared variables (combo),
nonexistent functions (strdup), broken strings, and I'm not
sure if the Sameer/Prathibha understands GtkCombo and
GtkComboBox are two different widgets -- and the former is
deprecated -- because the code uses GtkCombo while the
e-mail talks about combo *boxes*.

Anyway, the problem is that GtkCombo has no "text" property
-- BTW, this should be clearly seen from the run-time
warnings the attempts to set and get it cause (if not from
the documentation).  But all I can say about the proper use
of GtkCombo is: Don't, use GtkComboBox instead.

Also,

   g_object_get(combo, "text", &p, NULL);
   p = g_strdup(p);

would be a memory leak because g_object_get() already creats
a new copy of the string.
