I did it this way, but it might not be the "right way". But until there's more
documentation....

void entry_insert(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventKey *key)
{
        char buf[2];
        if (key->keyval != XK_Return)
                return;

[....]

        bottext = gtk_entry_new();
        gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(bottext), "key_press_event",
                (GtkSignalFunc)entry_insert,NULL);
