Couple of things worth checking here, if you haven't done so already. 
Firstly, have you tried running your standalone application from a 
command prompt to see if it's throwing up any exceptions? Second, how 
are you creating the list of choices for your drop-down components? Are 
you  using a list in the resource file or populating 'manually' from 
within your code?

Can you clarify what you mean by 'included .png graphics'? By default, 
standaloneBuilder will expect any graphics files to be located in the 
'pixmaps' folder within your main project directory, and if you have 
them located elsewhere they may not be getting copied into the build 
directory for the standalone version of your application.

If these suggestions don't get you anywhere, I'd be happy to have a go 
at building your application on my machine and see if I can figure out 
what the problem is.
