Window buttons top left, worst idea ever.

[Alexander von Gluck]

I have been an avid Ubuntu user since the 6.06 days, and love Ubuntu like a
child.

Why the heck is Canonical changing the positioning of the
close/maximize/minimize buttons and forcing it down everyones throats?
Having the close buttons on the left side is the farthest away possible
location from the scroll bars on the right (where users spend a great amount
of time with their mice)

Disabling this feature is hard for new users. (alt+F2 >>  gconf-editor >>
apps / metacity / general >> change to “menu:minimize,maximize,close”)


Please Canonical, don't change the location simply based on the want to
change (or look like OS X).  As a very,very minimum.. keep the buttons where
they are and make your new-fangled left button approach an option in the
appearance applet.
