If you are sure that this package is the fix, yes, i think it should be added as a prereq at least for the distros having the problem (dependency in the prereq config file for perl-Qt or perl-Tk, i do not know which one is creating the problem).
I also think the current GUI is not been designed for a usage over an ssh connection, so it won't be perfect. The xoscar effort (the C++/Qt GUI) is supposed to address this issue, but this is an ongoing development.
