Yes, this is a very good idea.  I was looking at this issue when I got
distracted by the fact that, in gtkwindow.c, only the default widget
gets GDK_Return and GDK_KP_Enter.  If there is no default wigdet, I
think the focus widget needs to get these events.  

These two changes go together well.  I encourage you to implement your
suggestion.
