Hello,

please review my fix 7184951: [macosx] Exception at java.awt.datatransfer on headless mode (only in GUI session) CR description can be found here: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7184951

Webrev with the proposed change can be seen here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kizune/7184951/webrev.00

The problem here lays somewhere deep in the Toolkit life cycle on Mac OS X - at the time we initialize datatransfer the Toolgit.getDefaultToolkit() returns an LWCToolkit instance and later when we trying to use it it returns HeadlessToolkit. That's definitely wrong but at this stage it's too risky to fiddle with the life cycle itself so this is a hotfix that deals with the fallout of the actual error. The fix for jdk8 should be different.

With best regards, Alex
