Why you initiallized "window_entry1" and now you call lookup_widget with "window_entry" as parameter ? (Note 
the leading "1").
When did you initiallized "window_entry" ?
Does changing "window_entry" here for "window_entry1" change things '

Try this:

if( entry_sel )
        txt = gtk_entry_get_text (GTK_ENTRY (entry_sel));
else{
        dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new (NULL,
                                  GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,
                                  GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR,
                                  GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE,
                                  "Lookup widget failed" );
        gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (dialog));
        gtk_widget_destroy (dialog);
        return; //??
}

If you check the you application's stdout - launching it from an xterm -
it's almost sure you'll read some error messages about lookup_widget
failing.

It seems your Glade file may be messed a bit, so you're using two
variables to hold the GtkWindow pointer, but you initiallize one and
then use the other (uninitiallized) one.
