Could be.  Is the combobox too tall, or is the entry widget
too short, as compared to other applications?

Please file a bug report at SF and I'll take a look at it
next time I boot into Windows.

That's also possible.  Another possibility is that the
internal padding is different.  I haven't looked at it
too closely except on Windows XP, and even there most
of the measurements were determined by eyeballing other
Windows apps (not all of which are consistent either).

The dropdown button is built into the combobox, it's not
a separate widget.  But using '-sticky ns' for entries and
comboboxes on the same row migh a good idea in any case,
since they are likely to have different natural heights
in other themes.  (In the default X11 theme, for instance,
comboboxes are _shorter_ than entries.  Probably ought to
fix that too...)
