We'll look at the bugs but the patch you point to looks like automake fixes so I doubt it is the correct one :)

This is not necessary with libXi-1.7.8+, with libXi 1.7.7 being the only one that diverged from previous behavior. So we'll get the extra safeguards in gtk+:2 whenever a new release is cut, but with libXi having made it not break, we don't need to backport.
