Screen panel screenshot

When a monitor's brightness cannot be changed, the brightness slider is removed from the screen panel. This leaves a Brightness heading containing no items about brightness. A screenshot is attached.

A short term fix would be to remove the header along with the slider.

Leaving open, it's kind of ugly.

    screen: Hide brightness heading when unused
    
    Trying to just hide the widget will cause some severely bizarre
    display problems, so just set the heading to be empty instead
    for now.
    
    We should probably look at another way of handling this case.

    screen: Fix resulting top-padding
    
    When hiding the brightness bar, don't leave unsightly bits of
    frame lying around.
