Yes, I completely agree. I mostly copied SimpleList anyway. Then 
Simple{List,ComboBox,whatever} could just be composed of methods.

I kind of modified what I stole from SimpleList though; instead of tying 
a row and then tying a list of rows (TiedRow/TiedList) I just tied a 
column. If I had taken the Row/List method then wouldn't I have had to 
had done something like this?

@{$cb->{data}} = (
                  [selection1],
                  [selection2],
                  [selection3],
                 );

My aim was so that I could just transform the column into a row of sorts 
and do

@{$cb-{data}} = qw/sel1 sel2 sel3/;

Although I suppose that could be worked out in the SimpleListStore or 
whatever.
