It shouldn't.  When you create a button like this, letter `P' will be
underlined and the user will be able to activate the button from the
keyboard with Alt+P (and with mouse too, of course.)

If you really need underlined text in a button, try

  GtkWidget *pulse_button = gtk_button_new ();
  GtkWidget *pulse_label  = gtk_label_new ();

  gtk_label_set_markup (GTK_LABEL (pulse_label), "<u>Pulse</u>")
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (pulse_button), pulse_label);
