Bad documentation for Combo Box

[Fabricio Rocha <rocha_fabricio yahoo com br>]

Bug in documentation? Looks like sort of. I found out that the GTK2 
Tutorial explains a way of using combo boxes which are not the same to 
which the GTK 2 Reference refers to. It is "GtkCombo" against 
"GtkComboBox". I have also noted that in Glade the old combobox is not 
even listed, at least not with that name (in the Obsolete palette, there 
is something called OptionMenu).

In fact, what I needed was a rather simple, "read-only" combo box. 
Something like... it would load a list of strings before being shown, 
and afterwards the selected value/string could be retrieved. Is there a 
simple way to get that? Sorry if that offends someone, but for me it 
seems that all this new stuff about iters, models, cell renderer etc. 
are a good concept which are implemented in a very very complicated way...

Thank you and best regards,
