Description Owen Taylor 2004-03-13 15:11:25 UTC 
If you have a GtkComboBox with:

 - No bin->child
 - No active row
 - A number of items

Then it displays confusingly because the same GtkCellRenderer
is shared between the main entry and the menu items, so we
just get the properties for the last menu item "sticking"
and showing up for the main entry.

The right solution here is probably to hide the GtkCellView
when there is no active row.

A simple patch which makes the cell view bail out of the expose
handler after clearing to the background, if there is no active row.
