Moving buttons back to the left?

[R3cKL3SS_aM]

I ran this command line:

gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string menu:minimize,maximize,close
to move my buttons to the right and now want to move them back to the left. Is there a command line to do so?

A graphical tool to make all these changes is Ubuntu Tweak. From a terminal:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/next
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak-0

If you need the terminal commnands

Right Side

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"

Left Side

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "close,minimize,maximize:"
