no, i found an ebuild in an overlay. i can't see that it does anything,
though.

"could" like it is optional? do you have it installed?

i'm afraid i don't know exactly how this works. in ~/.config/autostart i
have a few files that contain something like:

[Desktop Entry]
Hidden=false

do you mean i should create a similar file named dropbox.desktop?

and what about /etc/init.d/dropbox, should i start the service?

i also noticed that there's a file /etc/conf.d/dropbox, i had to add my 
use to DROPBOX_USERS, otherwise there where errors when i tried to launch
dropbox. 

excuse all the questions, but as you see it's not working for me and i 
don' have much clue what's wrong or how to solve this problem.


best,
