yeah that's what I wanted first: a ComboBox below the object box, but 
then I had troubles with object box coordinates (did the user click or 
is the object still moving with the cursor, etc...) and I started adding 
some "if" and all kind of stuff inside mouse motion procedures and that 
became nasty.
this (and the fact that I wanted it now =) made me rewrite the plugin 
with the "cycling-through-completions-with-tab" behavior (which I still 
find very cool for speedy-patching)

cheers,
