Leaving aside that you're asking a question that should be in the GTK mailing list ...

The Return key isn't a button, so GDK_BUTTON_PRESS is the wrong event.
GDK_BUTTON events are for mouse buttons.

You want to be using a GtkAction to capture the key event.  Read about

    gtk_action_set_accel_group
    gtk_accel_map_add_entry
    gtk_action_set_accel_path
    gtk_action_connect_accelerator

and then take any further questions to the GTK group.
