I am not aware of any standalone patchsets for the client: I have always used the server patchset to update the client. The 10.2.0.3 patchset includes the new timezone files, so Išve made it an automatic part of my default client installation.

If by Desktop Edition you mean Express Edition, then no, it cannot be patched.
