Would it not be more logical for 'entry' to raise a "value-changed" signal
for when the user hits the enter key?

I can understand the idea of "activate" for (say) check-boxes or radio-
buttons, but not for this one. Is it not fair to think that "activate"
should be equivalent to a "value-changed(to TRUE)" signal?
