I believe there are some significant changes to GtkCombo in GTK+ 2.4, so
you may wish to look into those, as incremental search might have been
added there (not sure about that though). It might be more practical to
have a look at the source code for Epiphany or Galeon, which both have
combo boxes with incremental search and history for their location bars.
They're GPLed though, so you might run into the odd licensing problem
with using their code in a commercial app.
