Looks good, CI run also works well. Running all system tests locally on last Fedora 44 VM with Gnome and KDE (both behaved the same) I still had the problem with `LinuxScreencastHangCrashTest` but it is a test using Swing/AWT Robot - will be addressed separately as [JDK-8396405](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8396405) as mentioned before. I'll approve once other comments are responded to/resolved. ------------- PR Review: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/2356#pullrequestreview-5755965614
