[PATCH] Emit activation notification upon selection of an item in the drop-down list

[Vincent Legoll <vincent legoll gmail com>]

When an item is chosen in an historyfieentry's drop-down
list, we should send activation notification.

This is the functionality I would like to see from an
historyfileentry widget.

Anyone preferring the current behavior, which allows you
to modify the text, before activating with enter key press ?

The proposed patch does not prevent you from editing text
and activating your manually edited filename with an enter
key press. It just change the behavior upon drop-down list
item selection to automatically send the activate notification.
