It sounds as if you should be using a GtkList or some other widget instead
of a GtkCombo. I don't think you should show the popup list automatically,
as that may confuse the user - GtkCombo widgets don't normally do that.

In Glade 0.5.1 I changed it so that you can select the GtkEntry widget
inside the GtkCombo. You can then add a signal handler to the 'changed'
signal.
