[Gtk-sharp-list] Set item in ComboBox (novice in GTK#)

[Ricard Rosson Llobet]

I haven't noticed that you use strings in the second column of the ListStore 
and I supposed they where integers

in your case you should change 

(int)comboBoxStore.GetValue(ti,1)!=2

for 

(string)comboBoxStore.GetValue(ti,1)!="2"
