Hey James, thanks!  I have a fix committed here:

Ah, interesting.  Speaking of grouping services, just looking at your
list of services I was thinking it'd also be neat if you were able to
save different combinations of selected services for different
contexts.  For example, maybe a few of the sources are good for
finding foreign language bibs, so you could select them and save that
selection under a label called Foreign.  Maybe another set would be
good for Music.  It'd be like the template system in the item
attribute editor, with a drop down for these created labels.  What do
folks think?

But back to your combo boxes, what do you think about
collapsible/expandable interfaces like this?

+ Service 1 : Default Database 1

when expanded becomes

- Service 1
   \- Default Database 1
   \- Alternate Database 2
   \- Alternate Database 3
