Hey ken s.29!

Can you follow these steps in order to perform an advanced reinstall? 

Please let me know of any updates once you do!

I followed the reinstall steps.  Dropbox only started when run from the CLI. If it is run in a startup script the tray icon does not run and I get the same error message . I then found that if I add a 20 second delay, presumably to allow the desktop to start, the tray icon appears. This appears to be the underlying issue.
