metacity no longer uses gconf for its settings but gsettings instead.
Install dconf-tools and you can use dconf-editor to browse settings.
I believe you are specifically looking for
org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout .

Title:
Metacity paths don't appear in gconf-editor
Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I've been trying to find out how to put the window buttons to the
left.
All the guides I've seen refer to the use of a path in gconf-editor
apps/metacity but that path to properties settings is non-existent.
Does that mean that some kind of configuration hasn't happened, yet.
Where are the properties set, now.
I'm using this metacity configuration only in the context of using
gtk-window-decorator in Compiz, though, rather than using metacity as
a window manager, so it may be the bug/feature should be reported
elsewhere.
I'm running Lubuntu 13.04 Beta 2.
