   Is there an existing issue for this?

   • I have searched the existing issues

   Current behaviour

   A user on the Bitcoin stackexchange reported that starting -min still results in the Loading wallets dialog box appearing.

   Expected behaviour

   -min should minimize all startup dialogs.

   Steps to reproduce

   Start with -min with wallets automatically loaded (presumably, I haven’t tried yet)

   A user on IRC says that this was not fixed in 26.0, although they are now using KDE rather than XFCE.

   Edit: I am not able to replicate the reported issue.

   Was able replicate in 26.0, needed to use the release built binaries. I guess something in the way we build qt is causing this?

   Confirming that the issue still exists for the release/Guix built bitcoin-qt.

   I guess something in the way we build qt is causing this?

   The static Qt in depends misses GTK+ support. However, I’m not sure if it is the cause of the issue.
