[David Lee <ramchyld@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've found that this bug has regressed and returned on the production
version of Trusty Tahr. All three of my rigs (two upgraded and one fresh
install) are affected.

The bug affects nm-applet and nautilus-dropbox for me.

For nm-applet, the fix involves editing /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-
applet.desktop and changing

exec=nm-applet 
to
exec=dbus-launch nm-applet

as per suggestion in http://askubuntu.com/questions/449658
/networkmanager-tray-nm-applet-is-gone-after-upgrade-to-14-04-trusty

For dropbox, I taken what was mentioned in the article and changed the
dropbox entry in Settings Manager -> Session and Startup -> Application
Autostart -> Dropbox from

Command: dropbox start -i 
to
Command: dbus-launch dropbox start -i

It appears that with 14.04, dbus-aware programs must be started with
dbus-launch instead of directly.
