How to incorporate recent Nouveau patch into Lubuntu 14.04?

I recently installed Lubuntu 14.04 LTS. I noticed that on some screens and in some applications, there were missing graphics and icons. For example in the Files application, some of the folder icons would be visible and others were not. I did a search for a related bug/issue and come across a bug filed here (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51477). Turning off anti-aliasing under Settings>Appearance>Fonts resolves the issue of the missing icons, but makes the text harder to read. For reference, I have an nVidia GeForce3 Ti 200 (NV20) graphics card.

The bug was filed two years ago, but was just recently resolved. The change was incorporated into Nouveau 1.0.11 that was recently released. I am a complete novice, so how would I go about incorporating this patch/fix into the 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu2 that is installed in 14.04 LTS? Will this change be backported into 1.0.10 sometime in the future?

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance you can provide.
