A citation from Havoc's book should explain it (page 128): 

"Editable widgets emit the "activate" signal when Enter is pressed.
Typically users expect Enter to activate the default dialog button, but if
you have an editable widget such as GtkEntry in your dialog, it will
capture any Enter presses, and keep the dialog's buttons from responding
to them. gnome_dialog_editable_enters() activates the dialog's default
button when the GtkEditable is activated, solving the problem."

So, the usage of gnome_dialog_editable_enters() should solve the problem.
