I have not tried with 10.04 but it is certainly not working with 9.10.

J.A.Calvo supplied some information here about ebox-desktop for 10.04.
http://forum.ebox-platform.com/index.php?topic=3465.0

It will really strengthen eBox when ebox-desktop progresses from its proof-of-concept status to one of fully developed and supported, particularly if it then works with file-managers other than Nautilus.

I have long held the view that ebox-desktop is potentially a 'killer-app' for the eBox project, especially if it can be made agnostic of the Linux desktop environment.

We plan to have a fully developed and supported version of eBox desktop (working with 10.04, of course) but it's not the top priority at this moment.

cool. it will be great when ubuntu desktop is able to integrate with ebox 2.0 following the roadmap. like what samK had mentioned. I totally agreed that ebox-desktop is potentially a 'killer-app' for the eBox project. In fact i think the adoption rate for ubuntu desktop will increase because of ebox!
