This example shows the behaviour you're looking for - not exactly but
it's close - with no need for an special configuration.
It always shows the selected item centered on the combo, just using
gtk_combo_box_new_text() on the combo box construction.
May be it could help you.
// save as test.c.
// compile with:
// gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` test.c -o test
