It _sounds_ correct, yes :)  Is that good enough?  I'd rather not
have to revert the changes out.  Its troublesome enough that I
have to worry about this.

I'll have to look at the gtk_entry source.  Basically I'll have to
look at what gtk_entry does when you hit enter or tab, and copy
that.  next_in_line is probably superfluous, as are some other hacks.
