Yes, GtkComboBox is a new 2.4 thing. Glade 2.5.x supports it, as does 
libglade 2.3.x. Glade files created with glade 2.5.1 must be used with 
gtk 2.4 and gnome 2.6, however.

Marc Brockschmidt has produced packages of libgtk2-perl that support gtk 
2.4 (thanks to my pestering) and they are available in experimental as well.

I'm unsure if there are any major changes in libglade that would mess up 
Gtk2::GladeXML but I have libglade 2.3.6 installed and have been using a 
 libglade-using perl program with no problems.
