Move window buttons (Min, Max, Close) back to right in ubuntu 10.04

One of the most controversial change in ubuntu 10.04 is to have window buttons on the left side. Although this change favors many mac(apple) users. As a user worked in dual O/S, windows 7 and ubuntu, the change is somehow inconvenient. Here I explain how to move them back. (The min, max, and close button)

1. Open the configuration editor of gnome.

gconf-editor

2. Click on the + button next to the “apps” folder, then click “metacity” in the list of folders expanded for apps, and then click on the “general” category. The button layout can be now changed by editing the “button_layout” key.

3. Change it to:

menu:minimize,maximize,close

Save, close, and you are done. (Restart X Window to take effect)
