java.awt.Desktop feature is "intermittently" supported on Solaris. Really unexpected behavior.

      The answer to the question "Desktop.isDesktopSupported()" is not always the same for the same implementation executed on the same system.

      OS: Solaris, i586
      Machine: zenit.russia.sun.com
      JDK: 6, 7


      import java.awt.*;
      public class DSupport {
          public static void main(String[] args) {
              System.out.println("Desktop.isDesktopSupported() = " + Desktop.isDesktopSupported());
          }
      }

      If executed like about 300 times - among "true" answers, several "false" results appear
