PyGTK, Glade, and ComboBoxEntry.append_text()

[Greg Johnston]

Hey all,

I'm a relative newbie to Python (switched over from Scheme fairly
recently) but I've been using PyGTK and Glade to create an interface,
which is a combo I'm very impressed with.

There is, however, one thing I've been wondering about. It doesn't
seem possible to modify ComboBoxEntry choice options on the fly--at
least with append_text(), etc--because they were not created with
gtk.combo_box_entry_new_text(). Basically, I'm wondering if there's
any way around this.

Thank you,
Greg Johnston

P.S. If anyone reads this later wondering how to do it, all you need
to do is "prime" the ComboBoxEntry with a blank entry in Glade. You
can then use append_text(), insert_text(), etc. on the object, as well
as remove_text(0) to get rid of your blank entry.
