The Enter key in an Entry actually causes the Entry to emit the  
"activate" signal.  Try connecting to that instead of to the key- 
pressed event.  That way not only is it more obvious what you're  
doing, there's less likelihood of getting fouled up by order of  
operations in key event handling, which is kinda what sounds like is  
happening.
