[SOLVED] Dropbox icon on system tray

Netrunner Rolling Rolling 2016.01

I currently have Dropbox 3.10.7-1 installed. I am aware of the Plasma 5 incompatibility. I would not like to fiddle with anything if the Dropbox icon will be displayed soon on the system tray as Plasma 5/Dropbox co-evolve. Can someone who knows what is happening please clarify.

Thanks.

Dropbox is still using xembed for it’s system tray.
Here is the work around for dropbox:
https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=26360.0

Note: xembed-sni-proxy is now in the Manjaro repositories:

sudo pacman -S xembed-sni-proxy

The version of dropbox that is sni compatible, has it statically linked to ubuntu’s version. This means that unless your using the same version of Plasma 5 that dropbox was compiled against, it will not load/work.

I did what you suggested and rebooted.

I can now see the Dropbox icon on the system tray and Dropbox is also integrated with dophin.

Thanks.
