I tried Ubuntu 16.04. The launcher can be moved to the bottom, but not graphically. One must execute this.
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher launcher-position Bottom
Back to the left:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher launcher-position Left

The Apport error prompt is as eager as ever. On every live boot.
> More annoying is that the permissions are messed up for one of my external drives and I can only access it from root. The drive works fine on Belenos a Jessie and all my other drives work fine on Xenial.
It's probably caused by your user ID being different between the systems. This is one reason why it's usually preferable for USB storage devices to be formatted as something like FAT or even NTFS, rather than a typical Unix-like filesystem.
It is not the user name that matters but the user id, like onpon4 wrote. In a terminal, you can use 'ls -n' to see the uid and gid (group id) of files in, respectively, the third column and the fourth column of the output. If it is different on the external drive and you want all files to belong to you, then execute 'sudo chown -R $UID' on the directory where the disk is mounted.
> ETA: Am I correct in assuming that if I change the ownership so that Ubuntu can read the files, my Trisquel and Debian systems will then not be able to read them?
Yes, if your user ID is different between the systems.
There are two solutions: one, you could make your IDs the same on all systems you use. That has to be done when you create your account, so this is not so fun to do. Two, you can use a filesystem like FAT. Using FAT also has the advantage of being more interoperable with other systems.
'sudo adduser --uid 1000 banana' adds a standard user named "banana" with uid 1000. For an administrator the --system option must be additionally set. It is not hard by itself. But it is boring to do as a second thought because:
- there cannot be two accounts sharing one single uid or one single login (what often requires creating an additional intermediary account to remove the first one and then be able to reuse its login or uid);
- the files of the user must be moved and their owner must be changed (with 'sudo chown').
I made an attempt at installing Xenial on real hardware. The installer crashed when partitioning was done. I suppose it's related to the swap bug. I use a predefined partitioning scheme where /root and /home are separate. I have no swap. Apparently Xenial has a problem with other than pristine installs (fully automatic, erase all).
The culprit was the USB stick. From a DVD-RW all went smoothly.
The Dash has a way out and shutting down the computer: type 'session'. 'Secession' yields results about art if online search is enabled.
Ars has an article on Ubuntu Xenial and Snap packages.
