Well, that's what I get for not even checking the documentation before
posting. I forgot the first argument to 'modify_text' should be a state

- gtk.STATE_NORMAL for unselected text
- gtk.STATE_SELECTED for selected text when the entry is focused
- gtk.STATE_ACTIVE for selected text when a different widget is focused
