Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, how to move the window buttons to the right

Why are the window buttons (minimize, maximize, close) at the left side and how to change?

Today I installed finally the lastest version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx. Over all I have to say that the design is nice and the transparent window effect reaches the quality of Win7.

The designers moved the window button set to the left side. The issue is that most people are used to have it at the right side, they are moving the mouse to the wrong corner now. Probably the designers wanted to create a unique feature, but nevertheless it destroies the usability.

HOWTO change that:

• Lunch the Configuration Editor (Alt+F2, enter “gconf-editor”)
• Navigate to apps>metacity>general
• Change the entry button_layout from:

maximize,minimize,close:

to:

menu:minimize,maximize,close

You’ll find the buttons at familar position now again.
