Ubuntu: Howto move min/max/close buttons to the right in Ubuntu Lynx 10.4
With version 10.4 Ubuntu design team decided to move the minimize/maximize/close buttons to the left. Maybe to look like mac. For everybody who do not like this and want their buttons back on the right, follow the instructions.
Even if the position on the left might have some advantages, here is a instruction for changing them back.
Go to the "Terminal" or "Shell" and start the Programm:
gconf-editor
Now navigate to:
apps>metacity>general
And change the key button_layout from:
maximize,minimize,close:
to
menu:minimize,maximize,close
Even faster is this command you need to run in your terminal/shell:
gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string menu:minimize,maximize,close
How this helps.

Thanks, the gconftool-one-liner worked perfectly. I wonder about the thoughts behind this ... design change.
Oddly it did not work here on my Aspire One....
It's very aggravating having them on the left.
