Alternative to #8122 to fix issue #8119

The swing UIManager class detects the correct look and feel settings by
looking inside the `sun.desktop` system property, here's the extract of
the JDK:

    String desktop = AccessController.doPrivileged(new GetPropertyAction("sun.desktop"));
    Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
    if ("gnome".equals(desktop) &&
            toolkit instanceof SunToolkit &&
            ((SunToolkit) toolkit).isNativeGTKAvailable()) {
        // May be set on Linux and Solaris boxs.
        return "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel";
    }

Since we want always the GTK look and feel (even if the desktop is not
strictly a GNOME desktop) we force the `sun.desktop` property always to
`gnome`.
