Large ComboBox bug fixed?

I've got a drop-down combo-box with >= 2048 items which doesn't
display the drop down properly (it's just a thin line) if I run
in my "stable" environment -- wxPython 2.4.2.4+GTK1.2. It *is*
working properly in my "experimental" environment -- wxPython
2.5.1.5+GTK2.0. I can't find a reference to this issue in the
wx bug tracker. I'm guessing it's really a GTK1.2 problem (MSW
works OK too) -- just wondering if anyone else has encountered
this (particularly anyone with wx2.4+GTK2 or wx2.5+GTK1.2) and
if it's worth reporting as a bug against wx.

(Example code attached)

It works here with GTK 2.2.4 and my current wx snapshot, but most people are going to tell you that you shouldn't have more than a few dozen items in a combobox.
