Far be it from me to question the authority of a prophet (after all I 
work essentially for a church) but a look at the stone tablets called 
the "Gnome Documentation Project Style Guide" it says:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Return

    Definition:

    The carriage return key on the alphanumeric part of the keyboard. 
In a text editor this key moves the cursor to the start of the next 
line. You can also use the Return key to initiate an action on the 
dialog element that has focus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enter

    Definition:

    The enter key on the numeric keypad.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I dare not to comtemplate the meaning of this conflict...
