Remove "About QT" from GUI Wallet (dash-qt)

I like to remove the "About QT" menu-item from from GUI wallet. It is frivolous and takes away from the "user experience".

This is how you create the patch to do it (see dash.spec for RPM build instructions). I only do it in the testing version of dash right now.

NOTE: I really should make a script of this.

mkdir x ; cd x
# Download dash-<version>.tar.gz
tar -xvzf dash-<version>.tar.gz
cp -a dash-<version> dash-<version>.orig

Edit the file with the stupid menu item...

vim dash-<version>/src/qt/bitcoingui.cpp

Then, find and replace this addAction method call and replace it...

-    help->addAction(aboutQtAction);
+    // "About QT" is "implementation detail" -- commenting out -t0dd
+    //help->addAction(aboutQtAction);

Create the patch...

diff -urN dash-<version>.orig dash-<version> > dash-<vermajor>-remove-about-qt-menu-item.patch

Copy patch to ~/git/taw00/dashcore-rpm/SOURCES/
