Glade can't use GtkComboBoxText, and you can't use the text entries that
Glade adds for you in a GtkComboBox widget. You must do that in code.
The gtkmm documentations says that, I believe. Sorry.

You can use get_widget_derived() with a GtkComboBoxText-like class, if
you add the appopriate constructor - see the libglademm chapter. You
would still need to add the actual text entries in code.
