It does not require a patch.
Many apps built from source can, and do install icons in various
directories.
Distributions normally handle Menu icons location in their packaging
scripts.
I work with the rpm system and can not speck directly of the Debian or
other system.
With rpm we just include in the emelfm2.spec
nstall -m 644 -D icons/emelfm2_48.png
%{buildroot}%{_iconsdir}/hicolor/48x48/apps/%{name}.png install -m 644
-D icons/emelfm2_32.png
%{buildroot}%{_iconsdir}/hicolor/32x32/apps/%{name}.png install -m 644
-D icons/emelfm2_24.png
%{buildroot}%{_iconsdir}/hicolor/24x24/apps/%{name}.png
Which is Mandriva's preferred location.
If you are installing from source And not using a script all you need
do to have All emelfm2 icons installed
in /usr/local/share/pixmaps/emelfm2.png is to edit Makefile.conf
Change
ICON_DIR ?= $(PREFIX)/share/pixmaps/$(TARGET)
To
ICON_DIR ?= $(PREFIX)/share/pixmaps
Or simply continue as you are now and create the link.
