I've given up on xclip. I tried exporting that DISPLAY value and
others and each time that crashed dropboxd when I tried running it in
/home/jude/.dropbox-dist/ as a test to be sure the display was found.
The closest I ever got to a dropbox login without copying that url and
running it from a javascript-enabled browser was after I installed
dropbox and ran itfrom applications internet dropbox and that login
didn't work either. Apparently that crashes orca sometimes but one
time I did a run I found circles in the email and password fields for
logging onto the site. Lots of ajax on that page too. I'm going to
start trying things with the dropbox clones since this is going
nowhere and with one of those clones I may be able to link my google
drive account and if that happens I can do without dropbox it is too
much trouble just doing the basic things!

In order to find my DISPLAY I started up x, then ran mate-terminal
and typed echo $DISPLAY >dn.txt. Then I powered down and started up
in console mode and found :0.0 in dn.txt. If I didn't do this right,
I'll know shortly.
