So, is the problem just that there is no 
  Entry::Entry(const Glib::ustring history_id)
Constructor?

It does look like we got the constructor wrong:
http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gnomemm/libgnomeuimm/libgnomeui/src/entry.hg
#42

It should be
  _WRAP_CONSTRUCTOR(Entry(const Glib::ustring history_id), gnome_entry_new)
Instead of
  _CTOR_DEFAULT()

I would like you to try that and submit a patch. Instructions are here:
http://www.gtkmm.org/bugs.shtml
Unfortunately we can not break the API in the libgnomeuimm 2.0.x series. See
my other email today about APIs and schedules.

But I would expect the default constructor to work also if you use
set_history_id() immediately after constructing.
