The status quo that if it isn't GTK, we use Metal seems like the right thing to stick with. There'd be larger changes needed to support GTK if (for example) the right libraries weren't installed, and who knows what UI defaults would be set to and if themes
would work properly and even then what's the point ?

All in all safe and simpler to use Metal.

Hi Pankaj,

Sorry for replying late to this!

I think the patch is good, I'm still unsure if we shouldn't try to
support the GTK laf on anything non KDE instead, but I believe this
patch preserves compatibility with the current state of things.

Cheers,
Mario

Hello Phil,

I have made the changes you suggested.

<<I am assuming that you have a reason for both toLowerCase() and contains() 
rather than equals() ?

Yes, in some distros XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is set to some string containing "gnome" string, but not exactly 
"gnome". For example, on Ubuntu 18.04, it is "ubuntu:GNOME". I could have used "endsWith" method as 
of now, but for more inclusiveness, I have used contains, so we don't have to change again if some distro decides to set 
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to something not covered by "endsWith".

I've read the bug comments and it looks like you've eventually come to the 
right answer.
I just would code it differently for a couple of reasons
1) To make it easier some day to remove checking the old variable by just 
deleting a few lines
2) To avoid repeating the string literal which I always think of as error-prone

I am assuming that you have a reason for both toLowerCase() and contains() 
rather than equals() ?

Looks ok to me.

One observation is, in testcase you can remove line71 linux check as we already 
did the check in l54.

Hi All,

Please review the following fix for jdk16.

Bug : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8247753
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pbansal/8247753/webrev00

Bug: UIManager.getSytemLookAndFeelClassName() returns wrong value on Fedora 32. 
It is returning the MetalLookAndFeel classname instead of GTKLookAndFeel 
classname.

Cause: Java uses a environment variable GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID to verify if 
the system is gnome (which is set by gnome) and then checks for GTKLookAndFeel 
support. If both conditions are satisfied, then GTKLookAndFeel classname is 
returned, else cross platform MetalLookAndFeel is selected.

The GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID environment has been deprecated for a long time and the value is set 
to "this-is-deprecated" by gnome. In java, the actual value of variable is not being 
verified. As long as the value is not null (it has been set to something by gnome), things have 
been working fine though the value  set by gnome is "this-is-deprecated". Now, gnome has 
removed the variable completely and this is causing issues in Fedora 32. As the variable is not set 
at all, java is returning the cross platform MetalLookAndFeel classname for the 
SystemLookAndFeelClassName instead of GTKLookAndFeel.

More information on this in JBS.  Right now the issue is seen only on Fedora 
32, but this can very well come in future releases of RHEL, CentOS, Oracle 
Linux etc.

Fix: We should check XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP also along with GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID to verify 
gnome based linux. XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is set by gnome based platforms to some string 
containing "gnome" substring. So, this can be used to verify the gnome based 
desktop. For backward compatibility, we need to continue checking GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID as 
well because for some linux platforms, XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP may be set to something else as 
they are not gnome based, but have been returning GTKL&F as GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID was 
set by them. so, we dont want to change anything for them.

Other solution could have been to just make GTKL&F default on all linux, but that would 
result in GTKL&F being selected on some new platfoms like KDE based platforms where 
currently Metal L&F is selected.

I have modified the test case 
test/jdk/javax/swing/LookAndFeel/SystemLookAndFeel/SystemLookAndFeelTest.java. 
The test fails on Fedora 32 without fix and passes with the fix. I have run the 
required mach5 tests and this fix is not breaking anything. Link in JBS.

Pankaj Bansal
