Observed [ScreencastHelper.isAvailable()](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/28d94d6ab4994b844af98c5c227b40b5fb8a72e5/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/awt/X11/XToolkit.java#L1527) from XToolkit.java call is enough to start these demon threads on latest Linux (Gnome version 47 and above). In my observation some simple workflows not passing through the code where these **Watchers** are required, at the same time threads are running because of the above reason. So moving those into lazy loading will improve loading time and performance.
