Re: Remaining GtkOptionMenu to GtkComboBox cases

[Bill Meier <wmeier () newsguy com>]

It appears that most (all ?) of the remaining cases of GtkOptionMenu 
use the same style:

-Connect a callback (with an associated "user data" pointer or value)
  to each individual entry of a GtkOptionMenu;
-Upon the callback when a specific entry is selected, use the associated
  value as needed.


I decided to generalize the work I did for firewall_dlg.c to create

ws_combo_box_new_text_and_pointer() and associated functions.

Essentially: The functions are a slight generalization of 
gtk_combo_box_new_text() and associated.

They store a pointer along with the combo_box dropdown text in the 
list_store associated with the combo_box.

When an entry is selected and a callback is invoked, a simple 
ws_combo_box_get_active_pointer() gets the pointer associated with the 
selected (active) entry.


With these functions I think it should be a fairy simple matter to 
replace all the remaining usage of GtkOptionMenu.

I'll mark the remaining GtkOptionMenu cases as "in progress" on the Wiki 
"Deprecated GTK and Glib Functions Replacement" page.
