<p>I just tested Linux Light 3.2 which is based on Ubuntu 16.04 and dropbox works out of the box there. I cannot find any differences comparing to Xubuntu. So, why is it working there and not on Xubuntu? Any ideas?<br>

The command I use is '<span class="gmail-comment-copy"><code>sed -i.bak '/#!\/bin\/sh/a export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=""' ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd; dropbox stop && dropbox start</code></span> '<br>
<br>
</div>
However, I agree, this is hardly recommended for new and regular linux users.<br>

Dropbox icon isn't shown correctly on Xubuntu 17.04 (also affects 14.04,<br>
15.10, 16.04, 16.10). See the image: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://imgur.com/a/0DnjJ" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">

In order to work properly, dropbox is needed to run with the command<br>
`dbus-launch dropbox start`. The bug report that I found is this:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-dropbox/+bug/1546176" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/<wbr>ubuntu/+source/nautilus-<wbr>dropbox/+bug/1546176</a><br>
<br>
This can really scare new users away and it's one of the reasons I<br>
prefer to recommend Ubuntu MATE rather than Xubuntu on new linux users.<br>
<br>
I've tested xfce in many distros (manjaro/arch, opensuse, fedora) and<br>
this affects only Xubuntu. Why is that? Is it because of the indicators?<br>
Is there any possible fix that you can do? Maybe for example add your<br>
own `xubuntu-dropbox` package which replaces the `dropbox` command with<br>
`dbus-launch dropbox`, so that Dropbox works out of the box (without<br>
user intervention)?<br>
<br>
Tell me what you think.<br>
