[Bug 532633] Re: [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to "menu:minimize, maximize, close"

[Loop]

I don't think anyone's purposes are served by approaching this as an
"or" question and dwelling on personal and pseudo-logical reasons for
supporting one form or another.  Some people like the previous Windows-
style setup; others are fond of the left, OSX-like orientation.

As we've seen from the workaround, this issue can be addressed and
changed very simply with the modification of a single key.  Why not
simply make this an option, just a radio button in the course of the
setup or even upgrade procedures?  The customizability is, itself, a
selling point, a point of differentiation for Ubuntu as compared to
other OSes.

This shouldn't be "LEFT BAD, RIGHT GOOD" or vice versa- just give the
end user the *option* of how they want their UI to work, and don't
change that default without consulting the user.  As Google so recently
learned (Buzz...), it's far better to allow users the option to Opt-In
to new or changed functionality than to make assumptions.

[Bug 532907] Re: controls at the left side of nautilus's windows

[Loop]

Alex,

The problem is very straightforward, and while the initial report in
this thread could obviously have been expanded a bit, it won't add much.

Upon upgrading to Lucid, the window controls for all windows were
reordered (max / min / close rather than min / max / close as they were
previously) and moved to the left side of the window. This rearrangement
persists through restarts, and is unchanged regardless of whether new
themes are applied. The controls still work fine, they are just on the
other side of the window and not in the expected order. If you would
like a screenshot illustrating the above I can provide it, but really...
they're just on the left. If you need any additional information, please
let me know.

Matt
