Bug Description

Now and then when I boot my machine (Ubuntu 13.10) and likely while running Chrome across various web pages (I think I'm usually in a browser, but I'm not sure), an administrator password dialog box is presented stating that the Dropbox request requires the admin password ( see an image of the dialog box at http://imageshack.com/a/img89/9084/5fy0.png ) - AS it is that I have not been asking Dropbox to do something, I have simply selected [cancel] on the dialog box...

Can someone explain why this is happening?

Thanks,
Tom
