Yes, if the value is not found, it returns false, which in rep is the
empty list.  If you can't rely on the value being found, then just
protect the use, either with a default:

  (gtk-combo-box-text-set-active widget (or (position value list) 0))

or by just not doing it:

  (let ((i (position value list)))
    (when i (gtk-combo-box-text-set-active widget i)))

I don't see this branch at git://git.gnome.org/sawfish

That sounds like it was a different problem...
