Here is an example of autocompletion with Gtk::Entry. It's not yet in
the book.
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gtkmm-documentation/trunk/examples/book/entry/completion/

But I don't believe there is any set_completion() function for
ComboBoxEntry. It wouldn't make much sense to me - then you'd have a
drop-down for completion and a drop-down for the combobox items.
