I have an app called Dropbox. I installed it with the help of WINE. Well, I get the icon in the Ubuntu notification area, but when I click on it to open it, it is transparent (see attached image)

I don't know why you installed the Windows version of Dropbox (there's no logical reason that comes to mind), but you can install the Ubuntu version easily.

  • First, go to https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx.
  • You will get a page like this:
    Page You will see that I highlighted the Ubuntu version. Download the file that fits your architecture.
  • You can find out which architecture you have by opening Gnome-System Monitor.

  • To install Dropbox, just double click on the .deb file that you downloaded, and click install when Ubuntu Software Center opens.
  • When prompted, enter your password.
  • From here on, Dropbox will be installed on your system and kept up to date via the update manager.
