Title:
  No documentation for how to hide MainView's header

Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  All Ubuntu applications should have a MainView, even if you want the
  app to be fullscreen and not contain the "Ubuntu header" (for example
  a game). The way to do this, currently, is to have a Header and a
  Page, and set the Page's title to the empty string, "". This will hide
  the header. This is, however, undocumented, and even if documented is
  a bit crufty (what happens if you have more than one page and one of
  them has a blank title? Does the header appear only on some pages?
  That would mean that you can switch between pages until you get to a
  headerless one and then you're stuck there.) Perhaps there should be a
  hideHeader boolean property on MainView or similar: it would do the
  same thing as setting the current Page's title to "", but would be a
  property of the header rather than the page: it would also make it
  easier to discover this feature from reading the documentation,
  because there would be an explicit property to do what's required
  rather than a magic value of an existing property.
