Evan, It turned out that, at least for me, your previous post implicitly provided a work-around for this bug-in-Kubuntu's-Muon-Software-Center (and, I assume also in Ubuntu's software center). You wrote:
"Vim, have you started the Dropbox daemon yet? On my system I ran in terminal: ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd ... [snip] ..." Googling for that command I found command-line installation instructions at: https://www.dropbox.com/install which include the command to start the Dropbox daemon you referred to. After I followed those instructions I got Dropbox to 'work'. A file which I dropped last night in my Dropbox on another computer showed up in my Kubuntu 12.04 Dropbox (I think it was more than 15 minutes after I installed Dropbox). In Kubuntu's Konsole the report of the installation of Dropbox was followed by warnings and error messages which concerned me. Those messages were followd by many numbers which, of course, I did not understand. I intend to copy all that in an attachment to the message you are reading. Thanks Evan!
