I'm puzzled by that. It works fine for me (with minor modifications
since I'm not running against gtk+ 2.16).  It correctly populates the
list store, and the values are available in the combobox drop-down..

The comobox doesn't have a default value though, so the initial
display will be empty. This can be fixed by adding a call to
set_active after filling the list store (c.set_active(0) for example)

The CellRendere needs to be told which column from the model to grab
values from, This is accomplished by using the <attributes> property
in GtkBuilder or the add_attributes method.
