[Bug 1416052] [NEW] Dropbox status icon is in wrong place in system stray on startup

 

Public bug reported:

On startup, the dropbox status icon is in the wrong place all the way to
the left in the system tray (see attachment). This can be fixed (for
this login) by restarting dropbox:

> dropbox stop && dropbox start

Which makes the icon go back to the right place (or at least the place I
was used to it being in before) - see attachment.

This issue is not purely graphical because the icon is in such a place
that it obstructs the exit-button for any open and focused application:
you can't click the "x" button.
