XFCE and Dropbox

[Jayson Rowe]

Hey everybody,
Just wondering if any of y'all run Dropbox with XFCE, and if so, how
do you do it? I've done some searching and came up with varying
answers and techiques. Do I *have* to install Nautilus?
Thanks!
Jayson

Hi,

I use the cli Version to prevent the installation of Nautilus.
http://wiki.dropbox.com/TipsAndTricks/TextBasedLinuxInstall
The only thing that's missing is the Context-Menu inside of the Dropbox. 
But honestly, for me the web interface offers a good replacement for 
that (obtaining Public Links etc.).

I symlinked ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd to /usr/bin and now could just 
start dropbox from Alt+F2.

HTH,

johannes

Hi Johannes,
YES that helped a lot. I got a little mixed up in some of the
direction there on getting Dropbox to run at startup. I have it
installed, created the symlink and I can start dropbox on demand, but
was wondering if you run it at startup, and what method you used on
Fedora. I'm running Fedora 15 if that matters.

Thanks again for your help!
Jayson

Hi Johannes,
You can ignore my previous reply - I'm just now getting to know XFCE,
