Thanks, for the suggestion, but nope. Your suggestion gives a "gtk_editable_set_editable: assertion `GTK_IS_EDITABLE (editable)' failed" assertion failure. The following works to make the entry field non-editable: gtk_editable_set_editable(GTK_EDITABLE(gtk_bin_get_child(GTK_BIN(entry))), FALSE); However, what that achieves is just to make the entry field non-editable. The drop-down selection part still operates.
