I don't see anything wrong with this and it fixes the crash so it must
be better.
The only thing I'd suggest is to verify that the new code doesn't cause
problems in the case where the devices were already initialized. If
that's OK too, then I think this is a good fix.
But hopefully someone in the AWT team can confirm that UpdateDevices is
safe to call there...
One issue to track for maybe fixing up later is if this bypasses the
handling of the -Dsun.java2d.uiScale property...?
