+Description: Fake XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. Closes (LP: #1559249)
+Author: Martin Wimpress <code@flexion.org>
+Abstract:
+ This works around broken dropbox binary that will only activate the 
+ try icon on Ubuntu Unity < 16.10. This patch works around that issue 
+ by coercing XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to report as "Unity".
+ .
+ This patch is valid for Debian and Ubuntu alike.
