mint-dropbox is broken - I have the fix!

Hi
I just started messing around with mint-dropbox (like the idea of dumping my nautilus/nautilus-dropbox dependencies).
But there is a bug in mint-dropbox whereby it tries to keep downloading the 64bit version of the dropbox daemon. I took a look into /usr/bin/dropbox script and just found the problem (missing spaces!!!!):
was:
if [ "$ARCH"="x86_64" ] ...
should be:
if [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ] ...
Is this enough to register it here or where do I register bugs?
With this simple hack the mint-dropbox seems to be working.
The only things I see missing from the thunar+mint-dropbox combination compared to nautilus+nautilus-dropbox version are:
- right click and the context submenu for dropbox - here I only miss the public link as this was the only one I used
- the little mini-icon to show synchronisation status at file level (the tray icon shows the complete status).
If anybody knows how to get these working (if at all possible) would love to hear from you!
Cheers
