jtreg does not pass the GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID system variable to the tested JDK

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Currently, you can only file issues inside Oracle on Bugtraq under 
jct_tools/jct_tools/regtest.  For non-Oracle folk, report issues here 
and I'll make sure issues get filed for them.

As a workaround there is a command line option to pass env variables 
into a test.   See "jtreg -help -e"

     -e:name[=value][,name[=value]...]
                     Specify additional environment variables to be 
passed to
                     each test. If a value is not given for a name, the 
current
                     value of the environment variable will be used. 
Standard
                     environment variables, like DISPLAY, LANG, windir,
                     SystemRoot, etc, will automatically be given to 
each test,
                     if they are set in the current environment.
