Hey Murray,

I tried activate_default to no avail.  The application has three 
Gtk::Entry objects.  When run, the window appears with one of these 
Gtk::Entry objects having focus.  Perhaps there is something I should to 
in relation with the Gtk::Entry object?  Perhaps it needs to signal the 
window that the enter key has been pressed?

Thanks,
