Why min max close buttons were moved to left on lucid.Esfera: New UI Element Proposal For Ubuntu

i actually set my button layout that way through gconf-editor. it's more ergonomically friendly. to me, at least.

That's the order of buttons 10.04 uses. If you want to change it back to old layout then the simple way (that doesn't require you to install any extra software!) is this:

1. Press Alt-F2 and run "gconf-editor"
2. Browse to apps/metacity/general
3. Change the "button_layout"-key from "maximize,minimize,close:" to "menu:minimize,maximize,close"

Ahh... That's better!
