Not a bad idea actually. Putting the buttons in format: _ X [] (minimise, close, maximise).
It could work. And it is a compromise between Mac OS X and Windows. haha.
Also, if you make the close button larger and circular and 'popping out' (like the vista start menu icon) and have the min-max buttons on either side 'hugging' the close button it could look really nice.
I would like a colour of:
close: Red
min-max: greenish-aqua / turquoise
