Every login to gnome I get a message to elevate for script to run

Every time I login to Gnome about 5 seconds pass and then a message comes up for me to elevate for a script to run:

Everytime the file name is different, but it’s always in /tmp

I’ve tried leaving this on the screen and then ssh’d from another machine and looked in /tmp, but I don’t see it. Is there some way to find out what this is that’s causing this, and what it’s trying to run? It’s strange and I’d guess it’s not malicious, but I want to confirm.

Where would I look to find this our what is running every login?

Thanks.

Check your processes or startup for any software or scripts you run that may require sudo privileges.

From online posts and forums, this may be caused if you use Dropbox on your system as an app, not a web browser website/cloud service.

Sorry (for some reason I was not alerted there was a reply) - I do have dropbox, I’ll try stopping that from running and see if that solves the issue (I’m not in front of that machine right now) and I’ll report back.
