I was a partisan of the "no change" along the thread (my English is
perfectible, e.g. some possible confusion between layout and l/r side of
the buttons in my previous posts).
Since the change is going to happen anyway, I would rather now lean
toward a *radical* change, as formally proposed by the UI team & Mark
(the very same I did not like in the current 10.04 beta1)
The way Mark is closing the bug is reasonable. he can make space on the
right without too much offending people's habits. The downside is the
loss of originality of the former (or current) theme.
This message might sound contradictory, but I was ready to "bit the
bullet" using the default theme for 6 months over. To see for myself if,
at last, I would not finally come to like the unusual buttons position?
In a way, Mark's final answer removes the emotional side I had for this
bug. It was nice reading so much feedback though (aside from the noise
of "Pako" and "Pyramid" along the thread)
