Fix request (11u 8u)

Mostly clean backport. The patch is slightly adjusted due to the missing https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8212701 in 8u and 11u.
The fix was verified manually. no new issues were found by the jdk_desktop tests.

Would be good to keep everything in one place.

I do find it curious that this is a (critical) issue now. The change turns off the system tray support on GNOME < 45, which implies that is has been broken since GNOME 3 (which introduced gnome-shell that the test relies on) but that it is apparently fix in 45 and up. So it has been broken for years.
