looks like I just got the wrong signal. instead of using "changed", I went
with the "focus_out_event" signal. I got the stuff running now with the
following code fragments (in case someone finds this useful or wants to put
it into the faq):


creation of widget:

  gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (entry21), "changed",
                      GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (text_change), variable);


callback:

void text_change (GtkWidget       *textfield, gpointer         target)
{
   strcpy((char*)target,(char*)gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(textfield)));
}
