I don't really remember but I have nautilus-dropbox installed so I
suppose I used that. I also use KDE and apparently some Gnome stuff so
it was not such a big deal for me. It didn't want to install Mono
which is where I draw the line. :-)

I do understand your reluctance to install lots of packages you don't
really need but I'm afraid I can't help you there. Perhaps you can see
if it's possible to just install libnautilus-extension? As far as I
can tell, things work fine from the CLI. There does not appear to be
any real dependency on Nautilus.
