</I>><i> Short version: rm ~/.dropbox-dist/libz.so.1
</I>FWIW, has been reported together with that solution in the forums:

</I>><i> Long version:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> A year or two back the Dropbox GUI (i.e. the traybar icon and the
</I>><i> settings disalog) stopped working in Mandriva, and the situation has
</I>><i> persisted on Mageia as well.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I have recently investigated the issue with the help of Dropbox Support,
</I>><i> and the root cause of the issue is that Dropbox bundles an old libz.so.1
</I>><i> which gets used instead of our libz.so.1. The problem doesn't affect
</I>><i> most other distributions because we are using the "--enable-libxml2"
</I>><i> build option of fontconfig, which makes it build against libxml2 instead
</I>><i> of libexpat, and our libxml2 requires zlib 1.2.3.4+, while dropbox ships
</I>><i> zlib 1.2.3.3.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> The Dropbox developers are now aware of the issue and will fix it in a
</I>><i> future version. In the meantime, you can just remove the libz.so.1 file
</I>><i> from your ~/.dropbox-dist directory, and the GUI will start to work.
</I>><i> Note that it may reappear (Dropbox does automatic upgrades) later, and
</I>><i> if the issue isn't fixed properly by then, you need to rm it again.
