Good remarq.

Good remarq : I've desactivated the underlining effect because it's too
clutter.
But, as I said in my precedent mail, underlining is important for single
click.
So, what I propose is to underline icons WHEN MOUSE OVER (as Konqueror
do in my KDE) : so the two problems are resolved : more pretty and not
lose users that instinctivly double click (IMO, of course ! ).
