Did you attach the "key-press-event" signal to the GtkComboBox? and did
the GtkComboBox have focus when you pressed Esc?

If you want Esc to work across the whole window you will have to attach
the signal to the window widget.  Also, you don't need to use
G_OBJECT(combo) since the combo is a GObject, you can just use "combo".
