Ok.. So for some reason 10.04 decided to go with the Mac style of window title bar rather than the Windows window title bar. Ok I can see that Ubuntu might like to provide the Option.
But...
Then it should provide a Graphical Means to change the settings in the Appearance control panel. Have hundreds of folks complained about this??
Ok Sure I can easily find the horrendous instructions to fix it in the help.
1. Press Alt+F2 to open the Run Application window.
2. Type gconf-editor into the text box and click
Run to start the Configuration Editor.
3. Open /apps/metacity/general using the side pane
and double-click the button_layout item.
4. Change the value to say
:minimize,maximize,close
(the position of the colon determines which side of the window the buttons appear on).
5. Click OK and the location of the windows buttons
will change immediately.
But doesn't that say how silly it is? It should be in the Appearance dialog, Right. We all agree Right??

PS: Ha Ha joke is on me. After doing that if you change the window style bar look, you have to do it again... How sorry is that?? Raspberries for this design...
