I think the reason for having it as a widget was that it including some code for things like scrolling across the widget to change modes or some other thing. Using the nth child does sound like a good idea as far as styling and keeping things super kosher though :)

If that's true, you should really redo the ModeButton, or maybe removed. In fact, Gtk+3 tool buttons support nth-child CSS property, so you can easily achieve the same look of a ModeButton just by tweaking a couple of values in the CSS. Have a look at Totem or other apps in Ubuntu Oneiric, since Ambiance support them (for example, Totem sidebar, the toolbar below it). Cheers all and keep up the good work!
