Ok, I have added support for balloon help to the widget library, and
thus indirectly to customize (and w3).  Not all items have a context
sensitive help string, though.

If truly desperate, you could always press the _help_ button in the
top of the buffer.

There are three states:

(1) [ ] Underline: on/off

(2) [X] Underline: on

(3) [X] Underline: off

In state (1), the face will not affect whether text is underlined or
not.  In state (2) it will force the text to be underlined.  In state
(3) it will force the text to be ununderlined.  

I'd like the `Underline: on/off to be inactive (greyed out) in state
(1), but the widget library doesn't support this yet.

The face editor _is_ pretty complex.  And yet, it only allows you to
edit a fraction of what a face can contain.
