      If you could fix the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP error (it is now "Unity:Unity7:ubuntu" which breaks the Dropbx UI completely)

      Starting with the env var dropbox client expects helps: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity:Unity7 dropbox start -i
      but is cumbersome due to the autostart handling.

      Thanks for fixing this annoying and easy-to-fix issue..

        Thanks for the report! We have a fix internally and it should go out in v56, which will go out to beta in mid-August.
