Thanks Sven and Ek I wasn't sure; I've been trying to use macports libraries as much as possible. So I've uninstalled all of the older gtks and x11s installed XQuartz 2.6.0 (xorg-server 1.9.3) then gtk2 /opt/local/bin/pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 says 2.22.1 The problem persists, but I've noticed its not all combo boxes only those within dockable dialogues.The file type dropdown, pixel size and all of the combo boxes in the preferences panes work fine. I then set dyld to print libraries and found that then combo boxes within gtk-demo and pygtk-demo work fine (all started from the X11 xterm) and use dyld: loaded: /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib dyld: loaded: /opt/local/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.0.dylib as does my compiled gimp.... I'll try to delve into the differences between the combos that work and those that don't All sugestions welcome!
