ah. I have found the answer to my own question, but I'll share it here.

The answer to "which libs is this?", is...

"a whole bunch" :-(

I was having difficulty finding this out, because some of the libs dont have
"/usr/share" in them. They have things like,

-        xdg_data_dir_paths = slist_path_add(xdg_data_dir_paths,
-                                            g_build_filename
-                                            (G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S,
-                                             "usr", "share", NULL)


Arrrrgg!!

  ..and much internal patching ensues :-(
