<AWT Dev> [9] Review request for 8176097 Window set location to a display with different DPI does not properly work

[Alexandr Scherbatiy]

Hello,

Could you review the updated fix:
   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alexsch/8176097/webrev.01

   - sysX and sysY values are updated in the same way as x and y in the 
WWindowPeer.setBounds(...) method.

Thanks,
Alexandr.
