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.
