Sorry, pronoun overload in the comments. The second "it's" refers to the combobox entry we want. That is, the combo box entry we want to set as the current selection is the first item in the list, and that is guaranteed to be true (specified in the Glade file).
The set_active_iter(get_model().get_iter_first()) is the accepted idiom for "Set the first item in the {combobox,listview,treeview} as the currently selected item".
