I think would ruin the unique style of the Unity interface. There are
lots of other desktops that support right oriented UIs. I am surprised
enough that tiling made it into the window manager used with Unity (this
is a feature popular with older [read more advanced] window managers).
Not only that, but many people are used to the panel tray being on the
right side.
Every Linux desktop has its own original features when it comes to the
window manager close...maximize buttons. Elementary for example has
only close and maximize buttons (one on each side). KDE has pins, etc...

I would like to suggest the following tweak for future versions of Unity:
My only annoyance with Unity is that the close/minimize/maximize
buttons of a full-screen window is tucked behind the launcher. This is
an eye-sore and it places the close button directly next to the
launcher, causing windows to frequently be unintentionally closed.

Please run the launcher bar all the way to the top (looks cleaner) and
separate the close button to the right-side of the bar. This isolates
the close button from everything else so it won't be hit on accident.
For full-screen windows, put the close button to the right of the
system toolbar. To access the toolbar, I can click anywhere on the
toolbar and go to the item of interest. To close the window, I can
just jam the pointer to the corner. This arrangement prevents any
accidental proximity clicks from having negative consequences and I
believe it looks much cleaner.

[Corporate programming] is often done to the point where the individual is completely
submerged in corporate "culture" with no outlet for unique talents and skills.
Corporate practices can be directly hostile to individuals with exceptional skills and
initiative in technical matters. I consider such management of technical people cruel and
wasteful. -- Bjarne Stroustrup
