Erroneous "Your Dropbox is full" message
I am getting a regular "Your Dropbox is full" pop-up - but I have plenty of space. This 'appears' to have become a problem since I've added a Work dropbox - though that meay be a red herring. ...
- Drat. Was going to direct you to the thread for that official build, but, it doesnt exist!
Can I suggest logging a ticket at http://bit.ly/cm-support and maybe copying in this threads URL? Replies may take time, especially as its a bank holiday weekend but you can track at http://dropbox.zendesk.com

So dropbox feels they can control the behavior of my machine?
They're not controlling your computer's behavior. They're controlling their own application. It's the application that is presenting the window, not your operating system. It's simply coming to the forground, just like so many other applications when they present a dialog while the application is not in focus. It's nothing new, and certainly not malicious.
If anyone has a problem with how a dialog is presented in a program, then they should blame Microsoft/Apple for allowing applications to take focus when out of focus.

They're actually controlling my desktop and all other windows, as the popup comes over any window.
They're also controlling what's supposed to be on my second screen, because the popup is sliding from display 1 to display 2.

A window we never ask for.
Surprisingly, my operating is system is supposed to show windows I ask only.

Oh yeah? Just like so many other like which one? In 30 years of computer science, I never seen any other application doing such an annoying thing without being able to turning it off.
The only exception I know is a video game called SMITE, telling you when the matchmaking you launched found a game and when the game starts.
Even if "like so many other applications" was true, it just looks like "You know, there is already tons of plastic in the ocean, so it's ok for us to drop tons of it too.". Because other pollute, then it's fine to do it. Nice one.
