First problem: The empty alternative shows just about two pixels in 
height.
""
"male"
"female"
How can I get the full height?

Second problem: The leftmost characters in the combo has a lighter 
background color. The number of characters seem to equal the shortest 
string
" "      # shortest string
"male"   # m has lighter background
"female" # f has lighter background
How can I get the correct background color everywhere in the combo?

These are minor problems, but disturbing.
I really love the speed and the API of FX, so I'm not ready to switch 
yet.

some code:

    # Win XP, FXRuby 1.4.3
    width = 10
    cbo = FXComboBox.new(@parent, width, nil, 0, COMBOBOX_STATIC)
    cbo.appendItem(" ",0)
    cbo.appendItem("female",1)
    cbo.appendItem("male",2)
