Yes, there are people (Everygreen here in Beijing) running it without -a 
and see a failure.

I don't want to remove the test. On one hand, I will still directly run 
it myself if there are related code changes. On the other hand, it will 
be nice to wrap it into a real GUI test so that it does run as a jtreg 
manual test. I had tried but found launching terminals on different 
platforms and keeping the environment unchanged quite complicated. Might 
want to see it again when I have time.

Thanks
