<AWT Dev> [10] Review Request: 8187639 TrayIcon is not properly supported on macOS in multi-screen environment

[Semyon Sadetsky]

Hi Sergey,

The suggested replacing the Swing dialog with the native notification 
popup seems too radical change for the issue. It might be justified in 
case of the System LnF, but even in this case I'm not sure, because of 
possible compatibility problems.
