See sample code in combo.rb in ruby gnome
distribution directory
..../ruby-gnome..../gtk/sample/misc

The following is a simple example.

require "gtk2"

window = Gtk::Window.new("Gtk::ComboBox Title")
window.signal_connect("destroy"){Gtk.main_quit}

model = Gtk::ListStore.new(String,String)
[["ID1:","J. J. Calhoun"],["ID2:","Hans C. Nirbert"]].each {|id,name|
  iter = model.append
  iter[0] = id
  iter[1] = name
}
title = Gtk::ComboBox.new(model)
renderer = Gtk::CellRendererText.new
title.pack_start(renderer,false)
title.set_attributes(renderer, :text => 0)
renderer = Gtk::CellRendererText.new
title.pack_start(renderer,false)
title.set_attributes(renderer, :text => 1)

vbox = Gtk::VBox.new
vbox.add(title)
window.add(vbox).show_all
Gtk.main

good luck
