My understanding of how Gnome vs Gnome Shell vs GTK version naming interact here is definitely not as clear as I'd like but I understand anything that is Gnome 3.X or 40+ (and < 44.1) is affected, leaving only the even older systems out there as theoretically working. ie anything in at least the last 5-6 years is broken. I'd like Alexander to chime in here on this too.

With the current version string format, this should not happen unless the executable is somewhere else, environment variables are stripped, etc.

However, since this is a quick fix, a more reliable way to do this will be done along with  [JDK-8325914](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8325914).

The 3.38.0 was just an example of a different numbering convention, I can reproduce the issue on the 3.28.3 on OL7.9. So the lower limit is not known yet.  So this is intentional, as an urgent fix.
