Did you mean to remove the error message and set the "apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar"
to "true" when "com.apple.macos.useScreenMenuBar" is set?

I guess, without the stderr, it will make an appearance that
"com.apple.macos.useScreenMenuBar" even more supported than before this fix.

This error message was added as part of the deprecation of the property,
the purpose of this fix is to remove the "com.apple.macos."
So the error and property should be there or both removed.
