At first, Accelerators and signal are different. Is it OK?

IMO,
You can connect signal to Gtk::Entry, 
but you can not define accelerator to Gtk::Entry.
#This is just my opinion, but it may be something wrong ...

If you get event when Return key is pressed on Gtk::Entry,
You have to define signal key_press_event.

1. Select Gtk::Entry
2. Open Properies dialog and select Signals tab.
3. Signal -> key_press_event, handler -> on_xxxxx_key_press_event(automaticaly)
4. Save data.

5. in your ruby script, define on_xxxxxx_key_press_event(xxxxx is your Gtk::Entry's name)

ex)
class Test
   def initialize
     GladeXML.new("test.glade") {|handler| method(handler) }
   end
   def on_xxxxxx_key_press_event(widget, event, data)
      if Gdk::GDK_Return == event.keyval
         p "OK!"
      else
         p "NG!"
      end
   end
   :

   :
   :
end

Hmm, I don't know what you want .... .
Please tell me detail.

But.... Menu has deferent way to add handlers.

1. On Menu, Do Right-click and select "Edit Menu".
2. Add menus.
   You define some attributes.


Cheers,
Masao.
