[pygtk] Fwd: ComboBox set_wrap_width performance issue

[Konstantinos Poulios]

hi!

According to this source
http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/sec-ComboBoxAndComboboxEntry.html
there is a performance limitation for the set_wrap_width method of the
combobox widget:

>With a large number of items, say more than 50, the use of the
>set_wrap_width() method will have poor performance because of the
>computation for the grid layout. To get a feel for the affect modify the
>comboboxwrap.py<http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/examples/comboboxwrap.py>program line 18 to display 150 items.

Is there any workaround about this?

Shouldn't it be reported to gtk-developers  as a bug? A dialog with 8 such
combobox's with ~50 items each becomes unacceptably slow to load.

Kind Regards

Kostas
