    I just want to say: Dropbox is back

    I just want to say since yesterday the Dropbox icon has again appeared in the system tray.

    And I can't point to a particular update that caused it...

      I think (corrections welcome) that Dropbox has its own updater. So, unlike, say google-chrome, which adds its repo to your software sources, you do not notice its updates. If you do a ps -ef | grep dropbox, you can see the version number.

        Yeah, and every time it updates it wipes out my custom icons. That lo-res white box is BORING...

            Thanks Vinny. Maybe because I followed the Headless CLI instructions instead of the .deb (that I seem to recall used to have a Nautilus dependency)?

              In the mean time that othre icon, the one of HPLIP has again disappeared.

              After boot it will show up but then a little error windows pops up with the message it could not find a systen tray, clicking the OK will make the icon and pop up disappear...
              A bit of a repeat of a couple of months ago.

                I found the following link to the bug report and an easy fix:
                https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...p/+bug/1460445

                The problem is the order in which certain parts of the DE initiate, by slowing down HPLIP it will only initiate once the system tray is ready.

                This appears to be a problem with older systems. A workaround is to modify the startup desktop connection file (/etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop) from
                Exec=hp-systray -x
                to
                Exec=sh -c "sleep 15; exec hp-systray -x"
