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
