Moving window close button to the right in Ubuntu 10.04
Today I upgraded my office workstation from Ubuntu 9.04 to 10.04. While upgrading it frozen twice, but after soft rebooting (via ssh from another computer) and using startx to get X up, then re-starting upgrade manager again, everything is ok. (I would be surprised if upgrade was without problems, 'cas it's opensource ;-). sorry. )
My theme worked ok (only the wallpaper has gone), but moving window close and min/max buttons to the left is amazingly uncomfortable. To resolve this run 'gconf-editor' from command-line, it opens gnome configuration editor, just like windows registry editor (very much like!). Then just change this key's value:
to:
Changes applies immediately after saving value.
