I am not sure of what you are trying to do, in particular your mail
does not include the code you are compiling.

However here is some way to track changes on a combo box:

# let w = GWindow.window ~show:true ();;
val w : GWindow.window = <obj>
# let c = GEdit.combo ~popdown_strings:["A";"B";"C"] ~packing:w#add ();;
val c : GEdit.combo = <obj>
# c#entry#connect#changed (fun () -> prerr_endline c#entry#text);;
- : GtkSignal.id = <abstr>

By the way, this is precisely because using box signals on a combobox
is meaningless that the lablgtk combobox is not a box.

Hope this helps,

Jacques
