Hi Sergio,

Your program doesn't exit because using some handler or not. Your
program exists, mainly, due to an Application.Quit () or something
similar. Try to checkout this.

You can use Changed signal to catch whenever the entry content has
changed. Then, you can keep the previous state to changed signal emition
and check if the actual entry content is right. If so, keep the new
actual state. But, if entry content is wrong, simply replace it with the
previous state.


Cheers.
