To add the clear button:
 (1) Install libsexy [1]
 (2) Replace the GtkEntry widget, with a custom widget (The 'C' icon
under GTK+ Additional)
 (3) Set the "Create Function" property to "sexy_icon_entry_new"
 (4) In your C code, call "sexy_icon_entry_add_clear_button (search_entry);"
    This will automatically add the Clear icon and will clear the
text when you click it.
