Comment:
There is a more Debian friendly way to use the patch.  It applies fine

GNOME CVS.  What is inconvenient is that you will need to reinstall the
built package after each dist-upgrade since apt will want to replace it
(I guess I could pin the version but I haven't looked into that).

----

In a terminal, use the following commands to build a .deb package that
will replace the default gnome-control-center package.

$ apt-get source control-center

this will create a directory named control-center-2.13.93 (or something
similar) .  Get the patch from the GNOME bugzilla and save it in that
directory.

$ sudo apt-get build-dep control-center
$ sudo apt-get install build-essentials dpkg-dev

this will install a slew of package required to build the gnome-control-
center package.

still in the control-center-2.13.93 directory, use

$ patch -p0 < gnome.bugzilla.patch.file

this will patch the required file.

Then type:

$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

if everything goes well, you will have a some .deb package in the parent
directory (cd ..).

Install the new package:

$ sudo dpkg -i gnome-control-center-dbg_2.13.93-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb

if you restart GNOME, gnome-settings-daemon will start with the
