No, this patch is only needed by gnome_init()

If I'm right, this is only needed by make install.

Quoting from the FHS:

4.8 /usr/share : Architecture-independent data

[...]

Any program or package which contains or requires data that doesn't
need to be modified should store that data in /usr/share (or
/usr/local/share, if installed locally).  It is recommended that a
subdirectory be used in /usr/share for this purpose.
