Since DISPLAY is set, the GraphicsEnvironment considers the system as headful and tries to connect to display. After this patch, the test will not pass in that environment but will instead show the real stack trace.

java.awt.AWTError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':123' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
