A non-editable combo box about gtkdialog

GtkComboBoxText

This is actually what's needed. It'll have to replace the existing deprecated 
GtkCombo so I'm going to have to overhaul the combobox widget.

Currently there's also a warning being displayed when pressing the arrow button:

(gtkdialog:32483): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 
/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.24.0/gobject/gsignal.c:3079: signal name `depressed' is 
invalid for instance `0x853f0f0'

GtkComboBox is deprectated and I'd like to replace it, but two projects on lupu 
520 (pnethood, grub4dosconfig) use a property I can't replace: 
allow-empty="false" which prevents the user from leaving the combobox if the 
text is empty which with a new GtkComboBoxText would be achieved by responding 
to a changed signal, reading the active text and making sure it's not empty. 
There are a couple more old properties in the examples but I don't know if 
anyone has used them.

It also seems to be pretty simple and limited: it can be refreshed but it only 
refills it using the items read from the XML!

I think the best thing to do would be to leave it and create a new tag.

comboboxtext (big job!) is implemented and comboboxentry is next which should 
mostly be a copy and paste effort :)

All done :)

Can't commit at the moment though: 502 Bad Gateway whatever that means.
