[ubuntu-art] Metacity Button Order Changed

[SorinN]

Yes. What was to happen was happened :(

Very much amateurism on this change (right corner to left corner for
close / minimize / maximize buttons). Yes amateurism - you hear well
my friends. A good Human Machine Interaction engineer will not do such
a move. There are laws and principles. Some Unix friends told me that
they have a word  "do not destroy well established things". I bet they
know what they say they are Oracle engineers with almost 30 years of
Unix / Linux behind.

2 main reasons which prove the amateurism :

- this move will broke what was good and acknowledged by 90 %  or more PC users
as  `de facto ` (and I don't hear complains about that).

- the left side position of those buttons will agglomerate
(unnecessary) the space where a normal user search for menu bar and
for 1'st level functions.
Those buttons has a secondary scope and are rarely used, the right
corner was a good place for this group according usability standards
(the fact that MAC use those buttons on the left means nothing they
are maybe 5%, rest of the world just close their windows from the
right corner).

Indeed, everyone know that Gnome need some facial changes but hey -
why they start to kill the piano ? ..just because ?

Well it's clear that the team behind that move does not contain
professionals. If this was just a proposal - there's no excuse for
that. A single word >> amateurism.

Shuttleworth deserver better peoples because his movement is a crucial
movement of the modern history. I think he believe in peoples too much
and that's that's the point where some peoples can see a profit. Too
bad.
