OK, so now we have some more information:
- The effect is only noticeable for GtkComboBoxEntry, and not for
GtkComboBox.
- The effect is only noticeable in some themes. I don't see it in
Clearlooks (the default) but I do see it in Glider. I don't know what
theme you are using.

I tried changing examples/book/comboboxentry/text/ while using the
Glider theme. I did see the effect.


In general, I suggest that you don't change the defaults unnecessarily
(such as if the HIG suggests it). Your users will thank you if you
generally try to keep your application consistent with other
applications.
