Well, I don't really know. I don't really mess with my system, but it's 
not a fresh install. It's been upgraded every step of the way since 
14.10, and at some points during that time, I did try various ways of 
getting Unity 8 on the desktop: unity8 in a terminal, unity8 as a 
session, unity8 in a container, and back to unity8 in a session. Maybe 
some stuff from these remain?

My current install is based on Michael Hall's blog post. It did seem to 
work, but I think the music-app/system settings bug occured as soon as I 
installed the music-app from the store. Since then, I uninstalled it, 
removed the silo he mentions in his post and installed it again using 
only the overlay. Nothing changed (same things worked, same things 
didn't work). And then after a few updates, the network-indicator 
stopped working (and I don't know if it's related, but the Unity 7 
network indicator has been a little flaky lately).
