The GTK_CAN_FOCUS flag is required to be set.

If using Glade to develop the UI, you can click on your GtkEntry element, then in the Properties panel, click on the Common tab, then toggle the Can focus: button to Yes.

Run your application again and you will be able to set focus to the field and enter text.
