Has anyone come across an rpm to do the same, non-Gnome methods?

Thunar-dropbox is a tiny app to compile:

I see that, but would prefer not to install build tools
on the internet box.
What I have found is a Mandriva src.rpm
I may download and look at that,
to see if it's acceptable.

Once I find out how to build an rpm,
will look at the thunar-dropox for fedora repos.

What do you accomplish with that link?
If you want to be able to open Thunar from the Dropbox tray icon just run:

xdg-mime default fedora-Thunar.desktop inode/directory

As for thunar-dropbox, it just adds some custom context menu actions
in Thunar when inside the Dropbox folder. But it looks like it isn't
working with Thunar 1.6.1 (I even re-compiled it).
