I had a different patch to this, which I posted on the list later.

	case GDK_KP_Enter:
          if (window->default_widget) {
            gtk_widget_activate (window->default_widget);
	    return_val = TRUE;
	  }
	  break;

This way, the widget gets the return key as a key_press event, which
it can handle in any way it pleases. Further, for a correct
implementation of the text widget, the return key has to be propagated
to it as a key press event.

I've sent the patches to Peter. Let me know, if you're interested in
grabbing a copy.
