I can support displaying the underlined character quite easily.
The more difficult thing is providing a nice way to setup the accelerator
key.

I think there are two common actions of underlined accelerator keys -

 o Activate a button (if the label is inside a button).
 o Set focus to a nearby widget (almost always to the right of the label).

   are there any others?


I could handle the normal situations automatically, but I haven't decided
the best way to let the user specify what to do in the unusual ones.
