Original description

<b>What steps will reproduce the problem?</b>
1. com.pietschy.gwt.pectin.client.components/ListBoxWorkAroundBug2689.java
2. in the init function super.addItem(&quot;&quot;, NULL_VALUE); ist set

<b>What is the expected output? What do you see instead?</b>
a created ComboBox will always have a blank first item. It would be a nice feature if you could set the value of the empty item or set a watermark with a defined value. I modified the file and added the value super.addItem(&quot;please choose&quot;, NULL_VALUE);
but it would be nice to set it outside the pectin core code

<b>What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?</b>
0.8
