EVALUATION GTK 2.2 and newer versions handle comboboxes differently. In 2.2, arrow button is simply added to combobox with gtk_container_add(). In modern GTK it's secretly added with gtk_widget_set_parent(), moreover, adding buttons with gtk_container_add() is forbidden. Fix for 6624717 updated our code to work properly with modern GTK, unfortunately it also broke 2.2. I suggest to introduce different code paths for old and new GTK.
