You can't connect one signal to another, but you can
connect a signal to a function that emits another signal.
Since the other signal is emitted on a different object,
you want to use gtk_signal_connect_object, so that the
data you pass in is used as the first parameter to the
handler:

 gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT (entry), "activate",
                            GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_button_clicked),
                            GTK_OBJECT (button));
