You need to tell the combobox what column from the model you want to
show and how to show it. It is done with renderers (similar to the
treeview widget). Something like this for simple text from column #0:

GtkCellRenderer *renderer = gtk_cell_renderer_text_new ();
gtk_cell_layout_pack_start (GTK_CELL_LAYOUT (mycombobox), renderer,
TRUE);
gtk_cell_layout_add_attribute (GTK_CELL_LAYOUT (mycombobox), renderer,
"text", 0);
