[pygtk] Looking for help with comboboxes

[Gerald Britton]

Ok I think I found it.  The thing that made it work for me is changing:

        <child>
          <object class="GtkCellRendererText" id="cellrenderertext1" />
           <attributes>
             <attribute name="text">0</attribute>
           </attributes>

to:

        <child>
          <object class="GtkCellRendererText" id="text" />
           <attributes>
             <attribute name="text">0</attribute>
           </attributes>

Is it true that the id="text" in the object must correspond to the
name="text" in the attribute?
