Public bug reported:

In my app "Lone Wolf", I use Page.head.contents to add an interactive widget to the page header.  It looks like this:
https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/site_media/appmedia/2015/09/screenshot20150803_125313389.png

In SDK 1.3, there are up to three action icons shown, instead of the one
in SDK 1.2.  This means the header is too crowded and Page.head.contents
may overlap the action icons, depending on how long the page title is
(and how wide the screen is of course).

Looking at PageHeadStyle.qml, there is no relationship between
Page.head.contents.width and ActionBarStyle.width.  But I think there
should be.

I don't seem to have any control over ActionBarStyle.numberOfSlots
myself.  Or any control over how wide the ActionBar is.

In short, I can't figure out how to replicate my header behavior with
SDK 1.3.  Maybe the answer is I shouldn't stick widgets in the header?
But otherwise, I'd consider this a bug.
