Is the documentation so unclear?

    Normally you would turn off the inconsistent state again
    if the user toggles the toggle button. This has to be
    done manually, gtk_toggle_button_set_inconsistent() only
    affects visual appearance, it doesn't affect the
    semantics of the button.

Is the documentation so unclear?

    The state of a GtkToggleButton can be set specifically
    using gtk_toggle_button_set_active(), and retrieved
    using gtk_toggle_button_get_active().
