I guess we have a problem with ordering of settings processing in the GUI. It seems we create the optionsmodel now before getting to AppInit2() which covers parameter interactions and stuff. This seems to be able to cause problems as GUI settings are processed before these.

We always created the optionsmodel before getting to AppInit2, or at least for a very long time we've done so.

What specific problem does this cause?

If we soft set settings in OptionsModel, that WILL cause trouble with the networking related parameter interactions? Think about -listen or -proxy for example... I stumbled upon this while looking into adding listen to the GUI.

The whole options handling is a mess at the moment. I think it needs to be redesigned, and consistently, so that handling is not all over the place like now. See also discussion in #4194.
