The issue here is that most people in the world are right handed. For right handed people, it is much more convenient to move mouse to top right or bottom left. Thus this is where windows controls should be.
I personally feel that the move to shift the button to left was just "APE"ing the mac. Also I suggest have a default installed interface to switch the position of the controllers rather than having people to use gconf / dconf editor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 Title: [Master] Window Control buttons: position/order/alignment To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
