I tried to set up Dropbox without any sort of a GUI. I know that their .deb package is partially an extension to Nautilus, and since I run Xubuntu I don't have that installed. Instead I followed the poorly written instructions at http://wiki.dropbox.com/TipsAndTricks/TextBasedLinuxInstall which resulted in a .py file being invoked via ~/.profile which still creates a GUI window to ask you for your information, etc. Why not have a standard daemon with a ready-made init.d script rather than this madness?
