Try connecting the the Gtk::Editable::sig_insert_text() or deriving your 
own Entry and override the Gtk::Editable::on_insert_text() handler. 
Don't forget Gtk::Entry is also a Gtk::Editable through mutliple 
inheritance. You could connect to your own handler like this:

Gtk::Entry *entry = new Gtk::Entry();
Gtk::Editable *editable = dynamic_cast<Gtk::Editable*>(entry);
editable->sig_insert_text().connect(slot(this, 
&MyWindow::my_insert_text_handler));
