Hello, all:

I recently installed a new testing system, using the xfce
installation, so as to avoid the new GNOME. I wanted to install
DropBox, which comes in a package called nautilus-dropbox. I feared
that I was going to have to install Nautilus, but it turns out that's
not so. When I first opened the DropBox folder, I was prompted to
choose my file manager of choice, Thunar.

I found that interesting, and pleasing, and thought others might be
relieved to hear it too!

Patrick

It seems that "nautilus" is suggested but not required. Good :-)

Thanks for sharing the info.

OTOH, do you know -by any chance- why is that package at the "non-free"
section? I thought it was released under a GPL license :-?

I guess because it downloads the Dropbox binary, which is not FOSS?
(Sorry for sending private reply, that's Gmail's annoying default
behavior.)
