I agree, but if you start removing whitespace without warning the user 
this could lead to confusion.  The best thing to do is simply not remove 
trailing whitespace.

I don't see any whitespace added when I paste into a combo.  How do you 
reproduce this problem?  Has anyone reported this as a gtk bug?

I don't actually use this tool, so from my point of view I am not 
concerned.  My comments were more general - if I enter a space in a 
regex I don't expect it to be removed.
