Matthias,
Thanks for the detailed response. Please accept my lack of knowledge on
the subject as I'm neither an OpenJDK developer nor a C developer, (I
develop using Java, so information is to benefit the bug report against
OpenJDK). That said...
It appears the environment variable is a
Also, to help explain scope, all Java applications that use the Gtk theme
are affected with the removal of this environment variable. I'm not
issuing blame, it's been deprecated for a very long time now, but when
OpenJDK patches this they'll need a new way of detecting that Gnome is
running:

Just to confirm, OpenJDK is currently leveraging "gtk-theme-name" as you've

I believe question is less about which theme and more
It appears a lot of Debian code still relies on this missing value.
Some have switched to this technique:
os.getenv("XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP", "").endswith("GNOME")
... however for reasons mentioned earlier, this will fail on XFCE, Pantheon
and many others as they set this value, so the C-code
Here's a Gnome-project commit making similar assumptions:

As indicated in previous emails, XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is less reliable as it
relies on string

I'm asking how to detect a Gtk desktop. An answer that says "always' isn't
really correct. The use-cases for this -- as indicated by the Debian
search results in the commit that removed this flag -- were in the hundreds.
The ability to detect a Gtk-based desktop seems like a perfectly valid
formation.

I had to research this, but apparently they made a cut-over at some point.

minimize the problem, just wanted to isolate it from what we're discussing)

Which is why I assume the old environmental variable has historically been
so useful, it suggests they're not only available, but also in-use.

improved the UX situation a lot, though I have not seen any app using
that myself.
Albeit slightly off-topic, JavaFX was removed from the JDK starting with
Java 9, so any UX/UI improvements it brings come with other, larger
complications to app developers. Meanwhile Java's
Hi, I've noticed in recent versions of Gnome, Java stopped honoring the Gtk
desktop theme. I haven't found the exact commit that introduced this
change, but I suspect the team finally removed the deprecated environmental
variable GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID, which Java has relied on for a long time.
Just an update, OpenJDK does not agree that forcing the Gtk theme on
desktops such as KDE are warranted.
