I have the thunar plugin already, and it works well.
If I remove nautilus and associated Dropbox elements, will it break Dropbox / thunar?
Thanks.

Re: Remove nautilus-dropbox...will it break?
The easy way to find out is to rename the elements you refer to and restart your X session. Renaming is reversible. If you tag your username on the end like this it will be easy to identify when you go looking for it later.
Code: Select all
mv nautilus-dropbox nautilus-dropbox.ted-

As far as I can tell, it shouldn't.
Try a dry run uninstall on the command line first by adding the "-s" argument to see if anything else would be removed, if you are cautious. The truly cautious would backup their system first (like we all should be doing anyway

Ahh, I did it the hard way. Curiosity got the better of me, and I uninstalled everything with nautilus in the package name.
The answer is that yes, it breaks Dropbox functionality!
Then I used the Synaptic Package Manager history to reinstall every package piece by piece, starting with the most obvious (to me).
Result >> the bare-bones requirements for Dropbox with Thunar are (assuming Thunar and associated Dropbox-plugin are installed and working):
libnautilus-extension1a
nautilus-dropbox
Ta-da.
