Hi Thomas.
I'm responsible for GTK L&F.
I's a bit straightforward way. At least we can add a GtkEntry there. We
add Entry and Button in a ComboBoxEntry because we render JComboBox by
parts in Java and in previous versions Entry and Button had to be in a
ComboBoxEntry because they rendered differently if their parent was a
ComboBoxEntry. Best way here is to find out how ArrowButtons are
rendered in native gtk and do the same in our code.
Unfortunately I'm busy at another project for 100% of my time. Such are
priorities.
It you find another solution I'd like to have a look.
Thanks for your comments.

Hi,
With OpenJDK build b23, on recent GTK versions, showing a JComboBox when
GTKLookAndFeel is active causes this assertion failure:
(<unknown>:11755): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type
GtkButton to a GtkComboBoxEntry (need an instance of GtkEntry or of a
subclass)
The assertion was added in this commit:
http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gtk+?view=revision&revision=17657
Attached is a test case demonstrating the failure and a patch to fix
it. The
patch eliminates theme engines' ability to special-case the arrow
button/text
field combination but given the new assertion this appears to be the best
option. Visually, JComboBox still looks fine under the theme engines
shipped
with Fedora 8.
