No, I agree - but I wanted to get your opinion on the rest before I
started to work on that. 
If you want to use it I can change that. I think it should be easy,
there are already a callback when something changes (unless it is to
slow to just update everything).

The comboboxes should also be changed to optionmenus:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.2/gtk/gtk-question-index.html#id2904238
But that requires some rewriting of the list initialisations.
Not very important and I will not do it unless I know it will be used.
