It's taken two years and 116 comments here (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/metacity/+bug/160311) to make absolutely no progress whatsoever. I doubt we'll be seeing this LTS with buttons on the right. Maybe the next LTS. General "usability" in Ubuntu is pretty low and I think it's down to a comp

Nick, if you like them on the, you should change them to the left. But /by default/ these buttons should be on the right for the many, many reasons already discussed on Brainstorm, Planet Ubuntu, Ubuntuforums and this very bug report. Ubuntu. Linux for human beings. I hope that remains the case

Well, the way I understand it is that Thomas' patch doesn't actually change the theme border thickness? It just adds a slider to the theme customisation controls so that those who want a larger border can drag up the width. No "losers" that I can see. I just don't think that there's been any mov
