I have very recently made a clean install of 16.04LTS with what appears to be the exact same issue and also seems related to Dropbox. Open Dropbox folder and desktop icons disappear. They are still in the System generated Desktop folder in Home but if I attempt to move them to the desktop the action will not be allowed. The only solution is as stated before, to log out then back in.
Just wondering if the fix in 15.0 has been migrated to 16.04 for fixes and updates? I used Synaptic to see if the 15.0 fix was there under Pre- Release for Nautilus but I don't see anything that looks correct.
