Title:
  "Started" column not displayed for processes when column is enabled in
  settings

Status in Gnome System Monitor:
  Fix Released
Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  Fix Committed
Status in gnome-system-monitor package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-system-monitor source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact
  some columns have a default width of 0 pixels which is buggy

  * Test case
  - go to preference and enable one of the memory/started column
  you should have list with a decent width

  * Regression potential
  the change is only one in the default value of a schema, if the UI looks fine there it's working

  ----------------------------------

  I have recently noticed that in the gnome-system-monitor if I go into
  the settings and tick the box for "Started" in the "Information
  fields" section of that the "Processes" tab that the "Started" column
  is not added and in fact this information is not seemingly displayed
  anywhere except for in the "Properties" window for a process. But it
  would be really useful if it did actually appear as a column so that
  you could easily view the start times for multiple processes at the
  same time and to also sort them in terms of that. I am running Ubuntu
  GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18 but I have also experienced the behaviour
  on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20, in fact when running it on that
  system through Terminal this was the output (the exact moment I
  checked the "Started" box in the settings to add that column I got the
  first bit of output and then very quickly the other output followed):
