    list-view: Hide Star column title
    
    While "Star" is 4 chars long in English, it's longer in other languages.
    
    This means the column may become much wider than needed for displaying
    a small star icon, which both looks bad and takes away space from other
    columns.
    
    Since this is a column of star symbols, we don't really need a title.
    
    But setting an empty title makes the columns too narrow (16px), which
    gets covered by the overlay scrollbar.
    
    So, in addition to removing the title label, set a 48 fixed width for
    the column, which provides enough gutter for the overlay scrollbar.
