Concerns About Button Layout in Ubuntu Lucid

I am used to see my close, minimize and maximize buttons on the top right side of my windows, so when I go to change the window state I always hid to the that top right corner, but nothing is there any more. Do you want to know how to bring them back HOME?



As simple as follow:

• run a command by going to a Terminal Window or Alt+F2
• Type gconf-editor
• You will see the Configuration Editor Screen shown below
• Look for /apps/metacity/general/button_layout
• You should see something like close, minimize, maximize:
• All you need to do is move the colon : from the end of the line to the beginning of the line and press Enter
• VOILA!, that is all about it
• You can explore more in Configuration Editor to learn about what other option you can control "Only if you are comfortable with that"
