Re: [Usability] GTK ComboBox

[Jacob Beauregard <jake13jake comcast net>]

I have no idea what version of GTK is on my computer right now, but with Gaim 
2.0.0beta3.1 (which I know is a bit old, but I haven't updated since I'm 
usually using KDE anyway), the status combo box is at the bottom of the 
window, and I generally have the contact list of my IM client vertically 
maximized, I click on the combo box, and the only visible option at that 
point is available.

The now Pidgin FAQ mentions it still, and doesn't suggest updating GTK libs, 
so I'm led to believe this is still an issue in GTK libs.
