Comment 1 for bug 903671

Be carefull with the guidance: in the Gnome dev center they said that functions such as :

gtk_combo_box_new_text()
gtk_combo_box_append_text()
(and maybe others)

That are used in the guidance as a replacement of the old way are deprecated since GTK 2.24. We should use a dedicated class : GtkComboBoxText

See http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/GtkComboBox.html#gtk-combo-box-new-text

It's crasy that the same website propose to replace deprecated functions by others deprecated functions!

I've looked at the source files, Inkscape uses mainly GtkOptionMenu (the old way) for combo box that show items with pictures (gradients or stops). So the GtkComboBoxText could be not usefull here.
