Hmm, it looks like Gtk2::ComboBox isn't acting properly on my machine
either.  Until someone figures out what is wrong I would suggest the
following workaround:

my $ev = Gtk2::EventBox->new;
my $cb = Gtk2::ComboBox->new_text;
$cb->append_text ('Combo Box');
$cb->set_active(0);
$hbox -> pack_end ($ev, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
$ev->add($cb);
$tooltips -> set_tip ($ev, 'Combo Box');
