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 :)

Title:
  ModeButton for Gtk3 should be redone (or removed)

Status in Granite Framework:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi mates, I had a quick look (really quick, so this bug might be inaccurate) at the ModeButton, and I had the feeling you're like drawing a big button and then hacking separators with cairo, and clipping regions.
  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!
