Please drop the patch! Don't change the window class!
I think it is bad solution because changing the window class causes unwanted side-effects.

For example, the settings in ~/.Xresources file are not working at all (LP #949126), and probably the other programs which refer to the wm_class to find Emacs window also will not work correctly.

This issue affects only GNOME Shell users, but the problems caused by changing the wm_class happen to all Emacs users!
