Never mind.  Apparently the behavior of these comboboxes changed
somewhere along the line.  I just looked at the code and all they do now
is show the current net class settings when you are routing a trace.
You used to be able to select from a list of widths and apply width to
any trace by right clicking and selecting change track width but that is
not the case any more.  Sorry about the noise.
