Most likely you want to use gtk_entry_set_activates_default().

============================================================================
#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    GtkWidget *dialog, *entry;
    gint response;

    gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
    dialog = gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons("Entry Activate", NULL, 0,
                                         GTK_STOCK_CANCEL, GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL,
                                         GTK_STOCK_OK, GTK_RESPONSE_OK,
                                         NULL);
    gtk_dialog_set_has_separator(GTK_DIALOG(dialog), FALSE);
    gtk_dialog_set_default_response(GTK_DIALOG(dialog), GTK_RESPONSE_OK);

    entry = gtk_entry_new();
    gtk_entry_set_activates_default(GTK_ENTRY(entry), TRUE);
    gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(GTK_DIALOG(dialog)->vbox), entry);

    gtk_widget_show_all(dialog);
    response = gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(dialog));
    g_print("Response: %d\nText: %s\n",
            response, gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry)));
    gtk_widget_destroy(dialog);

    return 0;
}
============================================================================

Otherwise you can connect to "activate" signal of the entry
and perform arbitrary user-confusing action in the callback.
