The dropbox command is located somewhere else:

ilan@ilan-main:~$ $HOME/Dropbox
bash: /home/ilan/Dropbox: Is a directory
ilan@ilan-main:~$ 

I just tried again right click on the dropbox icon on the taskbar ->
Open Dropbox Folder and again it erased my desktop icons. One of the
icons is to fire up Netbeans if that helps. Another one is to fire up
Virtual box to start up XP. My guess is that it isn't important what
exactly the icons are.

Now I will log out and back in to get my icons back. I can still clearly
see them in $Home/Desktop, so the bug is alive and well.

Title:
  desktop icons disappear on Ubuntu 15.04 when clicking Open Dropbox
  folder

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in nautilus-dropbox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've been using both Ubuntu and dropbox for several years. With Ubuntu
  15.04 there is a new problem that my desktop icons disappear when I
  click on the dropbox icon in the status bar and choose Open Dropbox
  Folder. Then the desktop icons will disappear - but will remain
  visible in Files -> Desktop.

  The only way I know to get the desktop icons back is to log out and
  then log back in again. The bug is 100% reproducible, and it never
  appeared before 15.04. I also have Copy on my status bar. Clicking on
  Copy -> Open Copy Folder has no problems. Likewise I can use File with
  a right click and use Open a New Window and that too is OK. Only
  dropbox has a problem and only since 15.04

  If I can help in any way, please contact me ilan.tal - at - gmail.com
