Description José Freire CLA 2005-11-04 15:36:54 EST 
A combo with the the property readOnly as READ_ONLY, and style as DROP_DOWN has
a different behavior in Windows 2000 and in GTK 2.6.

In Windows, if you click in the text area, the combo drops the list.
In GTK, if you click the text area, the cursor appears in the text area, and the
combo doesn't drop. You need to press the down arrow or click the side button
for the combo to drop.

IMHO the Windows way seems to be the correct way.

There is no correct way to drop down a combo box.  On each platform, the 
action that does this can be different.  This is part of the platform feel and 
we should not attempt to change it.
