Description
GUI applications written in Java is DOA on Windows with 30-bit desktop depth. 
All gui applications throw the following exception and exit:
sun.java2d.InvalidPipeException: Unsupported bit depth: 30

The 30-bit desktop depth is important in medical imaging.

EVALUATION To prevent the crash we need to pretend that we're running in 24-bit mode (IntRgb) and work through GDI (which doesn't support 30-bit anyway), and disable the DirectDraw pipeline so that we don't have a mismatch between DirectDraw surface depth and what we think the depth is. The second step (will be covered by a separate bug) will be adding full support for 30-bit. This will include adding and recognizing 30-bit surface type, software loops, and making sure we do not loose the color precision when passing colors around.

WORK AROUND Works only if there is a single screen (which is unfortunately not the case for most configurations in the target audience) - use the OpenGL pipeline (-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true)
