Hi all,

please review the fix
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bagiras/8013116.1/
for
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8013116

java.awt.Robot.gdLoc field was removed to make Robot's point of origin be the same as in setters and getters from GraphicsDevice (GraphicsConfiguration), MouseInfo (PointerInfo) and Frame.

This makes sense especially on Ubuntu with Xinerama extension where all screens have common coordinate space.

Did it work on other platfroms before the fix(windows, osx)? If yes, why?

Two helper methods were added to 'test/java/awt/regtesthelpers/Util.java'. They were used in regression test for this fix. These methods could be useful for asynchronous window managers.

Thanks,
Oleg
