Hi,

I finally cracked this one, which turned out to be a bug in Gtk it
self. Setting the text column through the GObject property mechanism,
which clg used, didn't add a cell renderer to the tree view in the drop
down box. The C code which called the setter function directly, worked
as expected. I've checked in a fixed for it and also applied the patches
you supplied some time ago.
