Summary: Tix ComboBox entry is blank when not editable

Initial Comment:
When setting editable=False for Tix.ComboBox, when selecting an item from the combo box, the selected item should appear in the entry field. In Windows this does not happen, and the entry field is dark grey and blank. 

When editable=True the label is visible.

Problem occurs in:
Python 2.3.5 (Windows)
Python 2.4.4 (Windows)
(the above appear to use tk 8.4)

Works fine in:
Python 2.2.2 (Red Hat 9)
Python 2.3.5 (Red Hat 9)
Python 2.4.1 (Red Hat 9)
Python 2.5 (Red Hat 9)
(all of the above with tk 8.3.5, tix 8.1.4)

The following workaround does the job:

entry = combobox.subwidget_list['entry']
entry.config(state='readonly')

It appears that when doing ComboBox(editable=False) the Entry widget is
being set to DISABLED rather than 'readonly'.
