        GtkWidget* widget = gtk_label_new("Text");
        gtk_label_set_pattern(GTK_LABEL(widget), "_   ");

or you can use this function:
(hack it a little bit and replace PGString by char*)

// Create label with underscore at '&' positions 
GtkWidget* 
PGMakeLabelWithUnderscore(PGString* label, GtkJustification jtype) {
        BOOL isUnder = FALSE;
        int len = label->getLength();
        char *text = new char[len+1];
        char *underscores = new char[len+1];
        char *labeltext = label->getValue();
        int ps = 0, pt = 0;
        while (ps < len) {
                char ch = labeltext[ps];
                if (ch == 0) break;
                if (ch == '&') {
                        isUnder = TRUE;
                } else {
                        if (isUnder) {
                                underscores[pt] = '_';
                                isUnder = FALSE;
                        } else {
                                underscores[pt] = ' ';
                        }
                        text[pt] = ch;
                        pt++;
                }
                ps++;
        }
        text[pt] = underscores[pt] = 0;
        GtkWidget* widget = gtk_label_new(text);
        gtk_label_set_pattern(GTK_LABEL(widget), underscores);
        gtk_label_set_justify(GTK_LABEL(widget), jtype);
        delete text;
        delete underscores;
        return widget;
}
