Data type selection when creating a column... really hard task

I'm using pgAdmin 1.10 on Ubuntu 9.04

When creating a new column ("properties" tab), the combo for "Data type" 
is not responding to direct "text typing".  Selection of a data type is 
very hard:  you have to expand the combo box and searching manually the 
element you want  (in a  "long" list).

I'm not sure if this is a wxWidget limitation on Linux ...  but I lose 
50% of my time with this combo when defining new tables...


Any solution? (Actually, I use Win32 version of pgAmnin on Wine:  it 
works, but I feel I'm saying "windows interface is better"... ).
