GtkCombo vs GtkComboBoxEntry: scrollbars

[Daniel Kasak <dkasak nusconsulting com au>]

Hi all.

I'm doing some maintenance on one of my first forms, and in the process 
I'm replacing old GtkCombo widgets with Gtk2.4's ComboBoxEntry widgets. 
One thing I've noticed is that ComboBoxEntry widgets ( unlike the old 
GtkCombo widgets ) don't display a scrollbar when displaying the list of 
options. In cases where there are a *lot* of options, this is handy 
because it lets people scroll through the list much faster than just 
clicking on the 'scrolly thing at the bottom of the list' - sorry I 
don't know what it's called :)

I realise I can set up an EntryCompletion on the ComboBoxEntry's child 
entry widget, but having a list with a scrollbar would still be nice.

I looked closer at the form in Glade and noticed that my GtkCombo has a 
GtkList in it. However, GtkList is also in the 'depreciated' section.

This is probably a Gtk issue more than a Gtk-Perl issue, but still ... 
does anyone know if I can get a scrollbar ( easily ) on my ComboBoxEntry 
widgets?

Dan
