Bug Description

Any vte-based (since vte 0.14, I think) terminal doesn't show underlining on whitespace. This totally breaks my irssi "theme".

Steps to reproduce:
1. launch terminal
2. run echo -e '\e[4mfoo foo\e[0m'

Actual results:
Two underlined foos are echoed

Expected results:
Two foos with one underline should be echoed

Other: I've reported this also as gnome bug #434230, but there's been no activity in 3 months. Noticed this again when doing an apt-get upgrade and my hand-crafted package got replaced by new version.
