I'm getting closer. I found that unity-panel-service wasn't running. However, I can run it in a terminal window and it works. That is, I get the date, time, sound and gear icons in the top status bar. E.g.

A number of warning messages are displayed:
** (unity-panel-service:7216): WARNING **: Unable to support GtkImageType: 0

(unity-panel-service:7216): IDO-WARNING **: Can't load user avatar icon: Error opening file: No such file or directory
