<AWT Dev> [9] Review request for 8165705: Robot.createScreenCapture produces black screenshot on Oracle Linux 7.1

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, Semyon.
Why did you change the code to load the property each time the robot 
will be created? I guess it is possible to change only the line in the 
static block, so absent of "awt.robot.gtk" will mean use GTK.
