Clicking on the System Tray object brings up the Dropbox menu. Then clicking on "Open Dropbox Folder" brings up Kid3 !!!! (kid3: the mp3 sound tag editor)

But, i doubt DropBox honors TDE settings. Most probably it uses xdg-open. You'll have to play with xdg-mime to set correct default file manager
By golly, I believe you pinned it down! With your guidance I guessed at what was going on "behind the curtain" and entered:
$ xdg-open $HOME/Dropbox
and Kid3 opened up in the Dropbox directory!
Now to find out how to strip kid3 from the assignment in xdg-mime -- having never dealt with xdg-open / xdg-mime before.
Well, maybe it's not inode/directory Tho' you would think so.
jonesy@nix5:~$ xdg-mime query filetype Dropbox inode/directory jonesy@nix5:~$ xdg-mime query default inode/directory konqueror.desktop
I think xdg-xxxxxx is a rabbit hole I don't want to bother going down.
I can live with Dropbox's other access options.
Well, xdg-mime is a somewhat mysterious thingie, but you can try mess with mime directly. Either by finding kid3 .desktop file and removing inode/directory (or whatever dropbox hooks with, it could be some kind of uri), or edit/create mimeapps.list
