It may be a good idea to provide some kind of gtk_entry_set_bindings()
function.  In the meantime, you can override the actions of keystrokes
in the way the file selector does it for the Tab key.  Let's say you
need to override the F1 key in the entry so that it does something,
and you need the keystroke not to be passed on to the entry:

static gint
my_key_handler (GtkWidget *entry, GdkEventKey *event, gpointer data)
{
	if (event->keyval == GDK_F1) {
		printf ("F1 was pressed in the entry\n");

		gtk_signal_emit_stop_by_name (GTK_OBJECT (entry), "key_press_event");
		return TRUE;
	}

	return FALSE;
}

{
	GtkWidget *entry;

	...

	gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (entry), "key_press_event",
			    (GtkSignalFunc) my_key_handler, NULL);

	...
}

Good luck,
