Support for GTK 2 & 3 now in JFX

[Erik De Rijcke]

I ran into several issues, however I'm not sure they are related to gtk3

first of all it seems there is a dependency on: gsettings-desktop-schemas.
I'm not sure how desirable this is (I did not have it installed, installing
it fixed the error but I can image people not wanting to install it?)

Second, and this seems unrelated to gtk(3?), the screen initialization
fails (test was done using gentoo linux on virtualbox with windows 7 as
host):

Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread"
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Both width and height must be >= 0

Nearly all values seem to be -2147483648


I used openjdk9 109 as per instructions of the wiki, and the latest javafx
dev.
