<AWT Dev> JDK-8075070 [macosx] system menu bar disabled when using webstart to start

[Phil Race]

Yes, I understand what you are saying and nowhere are we questioning that
it worked in the past.

Best guess now is that somehow in 8u40 the checking switched from list A 
to list B
and the bug is that they are not in sync .. and at the very least even 
if it turns
out to be something utterly different those lists *should* be in sync.
