Textfield GadgetAction

I am working through the MaxGui tutorials on 2dgamemaker and can't get the textfield example working. It appears that no gadgetaction event is being generated when I type in the textfield and press enter. I don't know if this is related to the focus issue of another recent post. Using Blitzmax on Ububtu linux.
Thanks for any help

As far as I am aware, Brucey's MaxGui GTK is your best current bet on Linux - at least until he's finished wxMax.
