any hints how to make dropbox work on xfce? google returned many hits for other distributions, or for gentoo but on kde or gnome.
i installed net-misc/dropbox and xfce-extra/thunar-dropbox but all i can do is upload files with a browser on the website (that is, it recognizes i have dropbox installed in my computer). if i run dropbox from the terminal an icon appears on the tray, but it doesn't do anything. a Dropbox directory was created in my home, but it is empty and doesn't show the files i uploaded. thunar-xfce doesn't do anything either. i installed dropbox on a netbook with xubuntu (also running xfce) and it just worked. the Dropbox folder shows my uploaded files, and the tray icon responds. unfortunately i need dropbox to work on a project with some colleagues that are using dropbox to share the files. any help would be very appreciated.
