    Prevent a user from losing access to the main window by minimizing it to the tray on the systems which have not “system tray” or “notification area” available (e.g. GNOME 3.26+).

    Tested on Fedora 28 + GNOME 3.28.

    Original PR title: "Qt: Don't use systray icon on inappropriate systems"

    When reading the PR title I first thought you were referring to Windows platforms :-)

    Kinda of nasty to change the saved setting just because you run it once on a platform that doesn't support it. I suggest leaving it be in settings, greying the setting, and ignoring it.

    I'd leave this alone. Or at the very least, don't set any value if there's no systray.

    hebasto commented at 2:28 PM on September 16, 2018:

    If it'll be leaved alone the first call of the OptionsModel constructor sets fHideTrayIcon to the false anyway. Why cannot it be initialized to the true on the GNOME environment?

    promag commented at 4:42 PM on September 16, 2018:

    I'd say that's another PR, like "gui: Enable system tray icon by default if available"

    luke-jr commented at 9:31 PM on September 16, 2018:

    @hebasto Because the environment is not necessarily a permanent thing. Someone might run it on GNOME, and then run it on KDE.

    Systems without a systray should just behave as if the option doesn't exist at all IMO.

    I would prevent calls to createTrayIcon and maybe assert(QSystemTrayIcon::isSystemTrayAvailable()) here?

    How about createTrayIconMenu?

    Thank you for your review.

    How about createTrayIconMenu?

    lightly tested on OSes where the tray is available. ACK 244774d9626f37e15d8e021de4e735302ae2d292.

    Waiting on @promag's ack or further comments

  24. promag commented at 6:43 PM on September 25, 2018: member

    @jonasschnelli thanks for the reminder, will check tonight.

  25. promag commented at 12:02 AM on September 26, 2018: member

    Could guard these mappings https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/244774d9626f37e15d8e021de4e735302ae2d292/src/qt/optionsdialog.cpp#L222-L223

    but since these widgets are disabled and the options dialog is the only place that changes these options, the guard is not necessary.

    nit, could fix the comment https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/244774d9626f37e15d8e021de4e735302ae2d292/src/qt/optionsdialog.cpp#L220

    utACK 244774d — tomorrow I can setup a system without tray to test.

    ~Agree.~ (see below)

    nit, could fix the comment

    I did not catch your idea. What should it be like?

  27. promag commented at 8:17 PM on September 26, 2018: member

    Should be "Non macOS"?

  28. promag commented at 8:17 PM on September 26, 2018: member

    BTW, I'm currently installing fedora..

  29. hebasto commented at 8:28 PM on September 26, 2018: member

    @promag

    Should be "Non macOS"?

    Ah, I see. The comment line /* Window */ just repeats the Options tab name.

  30. promag commented at 9:17 PM on September 26, 2018: member

    @hebasto right, disregard that comment then.

  31. hebasto commented at 1:33 PM on September 27, 2018: member

    @promag

    but since these widgets are disabled and the options dialog is the only place that changes these options, the guard is not necessary.

    In fact, the guard around mapper is necessary: addMapping effectively overwrites ui settings in the OptionsDialog constructor.

    Thank you for this catch. I'm going to fix it.
