        When a machine is running as a connected NetSupport client, it is possible
        to hang during any graphical Java app startup in Win32GraphicsEnv.initDisplay().
        In particular, this happens when the client is set to 32 bpp display depth.

        To reproduce this bug, install a demo of NetSupport manager
        (www.netsupport-inc.com) on two machines: one will be the client (where the
        problem will appear) and one will be the controller which connects to the
        client. Using the client configurator, name the client machine. Using the
        controller, connect to that client. (Be sure to run in 32bpp display
        depth; and don't switch display modes while connected in NetSupport; this
        crashed my system consistently (nothing to do with Java on this one...)).

        Now, on the client (either locally or remotely), run a Java app and note that
        it hangs before displaying anything. If you type ctrl-Break in the console,
        you will probably see one of the threads hung in Win32GraphicsEnv.initDisplay().
