I have previously suggested a new widget that would be a slider with a 
button on each end:

	<-----|---->

The buttons would work like the combo box and increment and decrement by 
one unit and you can use the slider for large adjustments.  You could 
combine this with only a display like the zoom widget or with a box that 
could be edited.

                      +-----+
         <-----|----> |  55%|
                      +-----+

Somewhat similar to the color choosing in InkScape but applied to things 
other than color.

For some drawing applications (with 2 or 3 decimal places), it would be 
helpful, with this or the combobox, if there was something at the bottom 
that you could move left and right to indicate which digit the buttons 
would increment.
