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?

See the image: http://imgur.com/a/0DnjJ In order to work properly, dropbox is needed to run with the command `dbus-launch dropbox start`. The bug report that I found is this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-dropbox/+bug/1546176 This can really scare new users away and it's one of the reasons I prefer to recommend Ubuntu MATE rather than Xubuntu on new linux users. I've tested xfce in many distros (manjaro/arch, opensuse, fedora) and this affects only Xubuntu. Why is that? Is it because of the indicators? Is there any possible fix that you can do? Maybe for example add your own `xubuntu-dropbox` package which replaces the `dropbox` command with `dbus-launch dropbox`, so that Dropbox works out of the box (without user intervention)?
