Signals
The default signal is "changed", emitted when typing into the entry.
The "activate" signal is emitted when the user activates the entry with the Enter key (since 0.7.21).
For GTK+ 2.16 and later, the "icon-press" and "icon-release" signals are emitted when an activatable icon is pressed or released, but these signal names will be prefixed with either "primary-" or "secondary-" to indicate the source icon (since 0.7.21).
See also the GtkEntry widget and ancestor class signals.
