in Blender itself it is a property of Scene, not Window, and certainly not 
Mesh.

i propose removing Mesh.Modes() and adding three booleans to Scene objects:
scene.selectVertex
scene.selectEdge
scene.selectFace
(those names are what Joseph suggested, i would prefer something else but 
dunno what)

this is similar to the GUI, where they are 3 independent toggle buttons. they 
are showed in the 3d view, but are not specific to any Window, but a setting 
that affects the scene globally. for example, if we one day have some 
alternative view for mesh editing, the modes are in effect there for the 
given scene, not only in the 3d window where the buttons were pressed. oh and 
now if you have many 3d views the buttons affect the mode in all, as the 
modes are properties of the scene.

was first thinking that a list of scene.selectmodes with constants VERTSELECT, 
EDGESELECT and FACESELECT as possible members would be good, dunno, but 
perhaps those separate booleans would be better?
