Sorry but no, that's also not acceptable.
With the latest patch applied, there's no more column labels, the columns 
cannot be resized nor sorted anymore.

What seems unnecessary to you is very important to me and probably to  most 
commenters of bug 152702 (not to mention people suffering from 
https://bugs.kde.org/247473).

Also, I don't think removing the columns headers is the appropriate solution 
for users that accidentally click on it. How about adding an option to lock 
the sorting instead ? (this would fix #235992)
