@prrace This hasn't changed: the new line character at the start of the default
headless message is preserved as it has always been there.
What I remove is the new line character in the end of the message which wasn't
there until [JDK-8286447](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8286447) and
which isn't there for macOS or Windows.
In other words, currently you get
foo
No X11 Display variable was set ...
and you'll get the same after applying the proposed patch too.
