Set the headless-awt USE flag against icedtea-bin. Note the description.

  Don't install the X backend for AWT, needed by some GUIs
  (used to be X flag)

Admittedly it is unusual to set a flag to *not* install something but
we couldn't really call the flag headful-awt or non-headless-awt. This
name was chosen with input from upstream.

We stopped using the X flag because in the case of oracle-jdk-bin, both
AWT and JavaFX require X11. We needed to be able to differentiate
between these and we wanted to keep the flags consistent across the
different JVM packages.
