Widget.getModifierStyle

Returns the current modifier style for the widget. (As set by gtk.widget.Widget.modifyStyle.) If no style has previously set, a new #GtkRcStyle will be created with all values unset, and set as the modifier style for the widget. If you make changes to this rc style, you must call gtk.widget.Widget.modifyStyle, passing in the returned rc style, to make sure that your changes take effect.

Caution: passing the style back to gtk.widget.Widget.modifyStyle will normally end up destroying it, because gtk.widget.Widget.modifyStyle copies the passed-in style and sets the copy as the new modifier style, thus dropping any reference to the old modifier style. Add a reference to the modifier style if you want to keep it alive.
