It's awesome to see Ubuntu growing, but making radical changes like Placement GUI Buttons... It's bit of shame.. that few may not figure this our and will left stuck on this.
Ubuntu seems to think that every one is lefty. To me, it's akin to putting your drinking glass on the left so that you have to reach across your food to get to it. It's just awkward. Oh well.
THank you so much. This finally did the job. I was using gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/shell/windows/button_layout ':close' --type STRING but did not produce anything

Thanks for the post! You saved my life.
Good to see that this helped at least someone.

Thanks for the info! Worked like a charm on 11.10, with Gnome Panel (3.2) loaded. Didn't even have to logout for it to take effect. :)
Thanks for the post. I love 'right'.
(Still trying to come to terms with the 11.10 differences)
Learn Something Every Day ...good on ya!

Very good indeed. Worked perfectly!
i'm new to this linux...can anyone tell me where to write this string...
this is a command, like in windows you have command promt, in linux they have console.
you need to execute this command in console.
(CTL + ALT + T , brings up console window)
thanks tried gnome-tweak-tool to get this but failed
the command worked out perfectly using gnome classic (unity was annoying took forever to log out and shut down in it)
awesome thanks so much worked like a charm have to switch between windows for work and ubuntu at home was making me crazy.....
Not sure what is going on but the command did not work for me. I did a clean install of 11.10
doesn't work here also
Doesn't work here also.....any help
I got frustrated with UBUNTU and have switched to KUBUNTU for now.
Works great! Works like a charm! If you install gnome3 desktop, you should run this one to fix the buttons:
gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/shell/windows/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
Thanks so much!!!
