Comment (by sadrul):

 pidgin_make_text_combo_box_entry looks like a good addition to the API. I
 would probably rename it to something like
 pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_new(), with the GList as the first parameter,
 and the default item as the second one. I would also provide a
 'pidgin_text_combo_box_get_selected(dropdown)' or something similar to use
 instead of
 'gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(GTK_BIN(dialog->group_combo)->child))'.

 This new function also looks to be independent of the patch to break
 compatibility with older plugins. Perhaps you could submit this bit in a
 separate ticket?
