Ubuntu One client in XFCE not connecting

Hi,

I posted this question on https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-client/+question/82954 before I found out there is a whole section for Ubuntu One on ubuntuforums but maybe someone here can shed some light on this for me...

Although I read that Ubuntu One should work on XFCE, I cannot get the client does to connect at all. I start Ubuntu One from the Applications menu then click the tray icon and select Connect... Nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong?

If I right-click the tray icon and select Go to Web my default browser (Opera) opens my one.ubuntu.com file sharing page. And if I choose Open Folder, thunar opens up like it should...

Side issue: Ubuntu One does not autostart upon login. I suppose I will have to add it manually to the Autostart App list?

Thanks for helping me out! :)

EDIT: Additional info After starting the ubuntuone-client-applet from terminal and clicking Connect, I get this output:

Do you have the apport crash report?

The good news is that you should get past this error if you update to the latest version of the client. Please try that and if you're still having problems, please report a bug by right-clicking on the Ubuntu One icon and selecting "Report a Problem".

Thanks!

thanks andrea and joshua, for replying.

the latest update did indeed change it all. it works just fine now (coming up with a 'which browser do you prefer' dialog and proceeding to the 'add computer' page) so i am happy :)
