Actually, I have an Entry widget where I would to handle the input 
manually, so, cut and paste from/to it could "damage" my formatted 
string. I've used the callbacks to signal_cut/paste_clipboard() to call 
emission_stop() there. Any suggestion, how to disable cut and paste, but 
leave copy ability in the Gtk::Entry widget?
