Are you certain you want this switched *globally*? I'm sure that there
will be side effects that neither you nor I can currently think of.

If the purpose is merely something like moving from one text entry
field to another when someone presses enter after a bit of text,
there's the "activate" signal; add a callback and move focus to the
next widget you want in this callback.
I'm almost certain that there are similar if not the same signals for
other widget types -- where it makes sense.
