Default behavior when running behind

[ghost]

• I'm trying to restrain myself with requests for enhancements since this is a very early version
• I expect the GUI to behave the same as the client

Having said that, this is something that I may forget later, so I'll put it here:

A workaround at present is Preferences > OK. If things are up to date, that will have the GUI show wallet contents.

While client can't do much else than either hang forever or show a similar message and retry or exit thereupon, a GUI could show useful info.

Please consider these possible enhancements:

• Display a refresh button or icon (which would be the equivalent of clicking on Preferences > OK)
• Show some stats (current Bitcoin block height/date, current Counterparty server block height/date, current time/date) to give an idea how things are going because otherwise there's no way to know how much longer one needs to wait.
• (Possibly) show simple wallet details. Although those may not be up to date, they can be useful. For example, if I haven't transacted since last time I used the GUI, those are most likely correct and if I just want to see what's the current balance, I don't need to wait 30 minutes to see my balance (unless I suspect I was robbed). While the same is possible by going to several (one query for for each wallet address) blockchain explorers, this would be much friendlier.
