+Description: Coerce XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to "Unity". (LP: #1559249)
+Abstract:
+ This works around broken dropbox binary that will only activate the 
+ indicator icon and menu on Ubuntu Unity < 16.10. This patch coerces
+ XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to report as "Unity" following the recent change
+ to "Unity7"
