The solution in the bug report is ineffective for non-Unity desktops. The bug is manifest in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS when using a desktop (GNOME 3 flashback) that is not Unity.
The patches in comments #1 and #7 are likely to *cause* a problem with non-Unity desktops. [This is of relevance given the recent announcement that Unity is to be retired in favour of GNOME 3 with the 18.04 LTS release of Ubuntu.] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1559249 Title: Dropbox indicator is broken on non-Unity environments To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/caja-dropbox/+bug/1559249/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
