	As I understand it there is a different between entering text into a
GtkText and hitting 'Enter' in the field which emits the 'activate'
signal - ie. many entries are not instant update entries that as soon as
you type the change applies to whatever is listening - clearly that
makes no sense for eg. Nautilus' location entry. Instead the 'activate'
signal is emitted when it is activated and then the text is processed.

	See at-poke, and the nautilus location bar eg. I would imagine this is
true of all entries.

	Regards,

		Michael.
