Thanks! :)

For columns without explicit title like VM status (icon) column, I gave
these a "meaningful" title for context menu purposes, like "Status Icon"
in the screenshot above.

I wanted to give users full freedom as to which columns are visible and
in which order. Even if you turn off all columns, you can turn them on
again :) but I agree that VM status is quite essential info and turning
it off doesn't make much sense..

I've also created RFE to improve existing up/down arrow user experience
by replacing it with drag'n'drop behavior:

(Please note that this feature landed in 'master' branch, no backports.)
