Have a look at http://www.astro.umass.edu/~dpopowich/python/ for the thing called ValidatedEntry. While it is not a solution to your problem, it does have hooks in place to prevent the user from leaving the entry until the data entered is valid, .. I believe it's this functionality that you are looking for your combo box, to stop the user leaving the combo box till they have selected a valid entry from your liststore. There is a demo inside the download, but usage of the demo is not so intuitive, you need to do through the code to understand what your are meant to do. It might give you enough ideas to cobble up something useful. Also I notice this http://www.gtkforums.com/about4619.html which may be more applicable to what your asking.
