It's only "consistent" if you really want this to be an underlined
face. If you actually want it to be distinguishable, it should use
something else (eg colour).

underline, it will once again by indistinguishable on the linux
console.

Absolutely!

Decide between what choices?
I do think this needed changing, because buttons were
indistinguishable on the console as you said. I really regret that I
got it wrong and spawned yet another big discussion on a small issue.
Sorry all.
