The reason a button isn't displayed is that the label text for
the button in question is empty.  By default emacs-w3m uses Emacs'
widget library, that won't make a button for an empty text.
So, I've changed emacs-w3m so as to use "submit" as a label in
such cases.  Maybe we get to view the "submit" buttons here and
there from now on.  If anyone sees a "submit" button that is not
for submitting, please report it. ;-)

That is similar to emacs-w3m running with w3m-form-use-fancy-faces
=nil.  I.e., Emacs' widget library is not used.

Thanks for pointing it out.  I haven't verified it with w3m/0.5.1
yet, but I guess it fills an empty label with a space or something.
