So. One more reason not to use Dropbox then.
The more I look at this the more it looks like a problem in KDE that Dropbox is triggering (others are finding the same in (eg) VMware, for example).
Dropbox has one advantage over its competition: I got 50GB free with my phone. However, given that I'm not even close to the free 2GB usage yet that's a bit meaningless. What would you recommend as an alternative? Minimum requirement is clients for Linux, Windows and Android, with obviously the ability to sync but also to share certain files/directories between users.
Nothing gets stored that I wouldn't be prepared to send by email, so anything of "value" gets encrypted (at my end - everything is presumably encrypted at theirs regardless).
(Glad you seem to be closer to finding the source of the problem.)
Thanks, me too! Shame that instead of wasting a bit of time rebooting my PC today I've "wasted" most of it researching pixmaps handling in X though...
