In my computer, my Music folder has some invalid pathnames, so when trying to calculate the size of it, the CalculateSize thread fails with:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 12: ordinal not in range(128)

And then, the method LocalFoldersPanel.update_sizes never clears the header that reads 'Calculating', since item.size will return None for ever for the Music folder.

We need to define a constant to flag the calculation error, and show in the listing something like 'size unknown' for the failing item.
