No mistake in the examples (actually, there isn't an example with
pixbufs). I was just trying to over-optimize a bit too much.

If anyone wants an example, the PapyrusGtk::LineJoinComboBox and
PapyrusGtk::LineCapComboBox are pretty simple and straightforward. They
are general purpose comboboxes with choices for Cairomm's LineJoin and
LineCap enums shown here:

Since they have a model that stays the same across all instances, I
thought I'd make the pixbufs, the model, and the column record static...
and ran into the early initialization problem.

Thanks again Murray.
