Hi, You're raising an interesting point here. From what I wonder, these path are *not* meant to search for WindowMaker's shared data, but instead *other* application's data (like icons, ...)
Changing the path to $prefix work because the usual prefix is "/usr" for every app in a distro, but in the current case it would break the concept, for instance is someone wanted to install wm in "/opt/wmaker": it would then not be able to use other application's icons, and the likes. But I guess there should be a better way for those path anyway, knowing that "/usr/X11R6" seem to be deprecated now, "/opt/kde2" should be also "/opt/kde3" and "/opt/kde4" (and maybe "/opt/kde5", so this time we'll be ready!). However I have no idea there at current time...
