This is broken out of bug 18178.
Button text shouldn't be underlined, even on a mouseover, except (maybe) in those
cases where pressing the button takes the user to a Web page (e.g. `On-line
help', or `Register Now ...').
The underlining == link association is so strong for Web users now, that using
underlining for any other purpose is asking for trouble.

Marking as dependent on bug 32073 -- because if this bug is fixed, 32073 no
longer has a test case. If you provide your own test case for 32073, you can
remove the dependency.
Depends on: 32073

removing 32073. There is a slight relationship, but it is not a dependency.
No longer depends on: 32073

I agree with Matthew about the underline, but this is reportedly by design.
reassigning to ben for triage.

a) if it's by design, I've seen much better designs, namely a standard button
b) can't wait for the new <button> widget to be used instead of these
