We can use it whenever new screen is set/new screen GC is set (Not sure of why it wasn't used before). The old code gets defaultGC whenever screen switch happens. We can use the existing implementation, which is actually better than selecting TransparencyCapable GC alone. Their exist a regression for this re-use solution i.e., test [WindowGCChangeTest.java](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/test/jdk/java/awt/Multiscreen/WindowGCChangeTest/WindowGCChangeTest.java), which is basically windows specific test.

If think that method should work even before the fix. In the peer we set the GC to some value we found, then call Component.setGraphicsConfiguration() which for canvas and window should call getAppropriateGraphicsConfiguration. Why it does not work?
