In the Receive 'Tab' of the QT wallet, when 'Show'ing a previously requested payment, add a label underneath the QR Code showing the bitcoin address where the funds will go to.
This way the user can be sure that the QR code scanner app the user using is reading the correct bitcoin address, preventing funds to be stolen.
Includes fix for HiDPI screens by @jonasschnelli.
My changes leave all tray icon and menu creation/initialization logic
untouched. It only shows or hides the icon according to the setting.
A new checkbox was added to the OptionsDialog under the Window tab. A
bool option named "hideTrayIcon" was added to OptionsModel. This
checkbox was mapped like other all options to the OptionsModel.
A signal was added to the OptionsModel for broadcasting changes the the
hideTrayIcon option. This signal was connected to a new slot added to
BitcoinGUI named setTrayIconVisible(bool). The slot simply hides or
shows the trayIcon in BitcoinGUI according to the parameter recieved.
I made a subclass of QMessageBox that disables the send button in
exec() and starts a timer that calls a slot to re-enable it after a
configurable delay.
It also has a countdown in the send/yes button while it is disabled
to hint to the user why the send button is disabled (and that it is
actually supposed to be disabled).
A small GUI annoyance for me has always been that it's impossible to
have multiple transaction detail windows open, for example to compare
transactions.
This patch makes the window non-modal so that it is possible to open
transaction details at will.
Without this patch:
- When I compile the GUI from the bitcoin directory itself, it works as
expected.
- When I build the GUI in an out-of-tree build, I cannot get it to
select tabs. When I click, say the "Receive" tab nothing happens,
the button selects but it doesn't switch the page. The rest - even
the debug window - seems to work.

This turned out to be caused by a mismatch in the arguments to moc,
preventing it from finding `bitcoin-config.h`. Fix this by passing
`$(DEFAULT_INCLUDES)` to it, which gets set to the appropriate
path by autoconf itself.
The build date does only makes sense for custom/self-compiled bitcoin-core versions because we are using static build-dates for our deterministic release builds.
Having a quick option to get the current datadir is much more valuable for debug purposes.
