Yes, I may want that.

Are your sure that "activate" signal is available for GtkComboBoxText,
or only for
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkEntry.html

And they write here
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkEntry.html#GtkEntry-activate
"Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it..."

And, I guess I still need the "changed" signal for the pulldown list?

Sorry, but I have already spent some hours on this problem...
