One method that I've been using recently works if you use libglade to
generate the UI - in that case you could write the 3 handlers and set
the each of your text entry widgets to these callbacks.

Within the callbacks you could use glade_get_widget_name() to determine
the name of the text entry widget (as specified by you when you designed
the UI in Glade) that called the callback and take appropriate action.

I dont know whether this is standard practise but it works :)
