[Bug 1372559] Re: [system-settings] Settings application section headlines

There's only a certain amount of punishment my designs can take before
they stop working. Here System Settings is suffering from three separate
toolkit problems.

First, as shown in the wireframe
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityAndPrivacySettings#Phone>, "Security"
and "Privacy" aren't supposed to be list items at all -- they're
supposed to be standalone labels introducing their respective lists. But
this is impossible in the toolkit, which is bug 1242666.

Second, in the absence of a standalone label element, the System
Settings engineers have used ListItem.Header, but this looks identical
to a normal list item, which is bug 1191029.

And third, list items that don't do anything still look tappable. That's
bug 1362305.

   Standalone labels as an element distinct from group headers

Title:
  [system-settings] Settings application section headlines

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  New
Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In Settings application.
  For example go to "Security&Privacy" view.

  Headlines for "Security" and "Privacy" are confusing.
  - they appear to be clickable, but without any response.
  - they are lacking any visual differentiation from actual settings items.

  Possible solution:
  - increase spacing from the top, to break it from previous section
  - use different font, or at least bolt font, to highlight it as section headline
  - when clicked, do not highlight the line/row to give impression it's clickable

  Same problem is all over the Settings application
