Hi freetinker,

If you have run Dropbox application within the same desktop session there is no reason Dropbox tray icon to be missing. Otherwise, while Dropbox application runs on an other session (terminal or graphical) icon is not going to appear. The same is valid for all singletion applications.

Hope this helps.
