Window buttons have moved to the left side

[zebbers]

How do I move the open/close/minimize buttons back to the right side of windows? I was running the mac4lin theme but ever since I changed it all the buttons moved to the left. It really is annoying.

It is a hidden metacity option. Here's how to change it back:

1. open gconf-editor
2. Go to apps->metacity->general
3. change the value of button_layout to menu:minimize,maximize,close

Ubuntu 9.04 location on my computers is under the
".gconf/apps/metacity/general/%gconf.xml" of the user id I am logged in under.
For those whom are less familiar with Linux and are looking from the root section or the beginning of your file system it is located under the
"File system/Home/(username)/.gconf/apps/metacity/general/%gconf.xml"
From your Applications menu go to Accessories and open the Text Editor and then go to the above location from there and make the adjustment noted by previous poster and log out and log back in again. Hope that helps someone else out there.
