The problem occurs in X11 builds on GNU/Linux too.
With a small font the underwave line turns into a dashed line.
For example, with the following small fonts it looks like
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1
Only with a bigger font, it looks like a wave:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1
However, the proposed patch provides much better graceful degradation,
where even with small fonts the line looks like a wave, for example:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1
I believe this confirms the patch is an improvement.
