It is clearly not obvious that it should be connected to dropbox. In fact it took me a while to find where the connection was. It is however connected to dropbox. I have solved the problem personally in that I now never ask to open a dropbox window. Instead I right click on File and choose Open a New Window. That works properly. Right click on the dropbox icon -> Open Dropbox folder will kill my desktop icons. This didn't used to happen before 15.04.
