The callback for the "activate" signal on a GtkEntry is

  void user_function(GtkEditable *editable, gpointer user_data);

so you have no control over what values get assigned to the remaining two
arguments.

If you really need to pass those extra arguments to your callback, you should
create a struct and pass a pointer to that, instead.
