If you select the combo box widget (not the child text entry widget),
you can use the 'Items' property to set the items in the combo box.
(This only works for plain text items.)

You use GTK_COMBO (widget)->entry to get the current text.

It shows 2004 for me. Are you seeing the problem in Glade itself? Or in
your application?
