You have to use gnome to use Dropbox, hopefully they fix that. Then all the systems folk will probably use this for quick n' dirty research projects.

No you don't. I've been using Dropbox in KDE for months now.

Thanks for this info. Last time I looked into this it appeared to be a Nautilus thing only.
This is quite slick.
You can use it purely from the CLI. I do this in Arch, works nicely. And most of the hacks are provided from the dropbox guys themselves...

Uhm, I'm pretty sure the command-line interface does not require Gnome or Nautilus...
AFAIK you just need the Nautilus file manager.
