My first Ubuntu and its customizations

1. Moving window controls to right

How to change window buttons?

From the Ubuntu 10.04, Lucid Lynx Desktop,

* press "Alt+F2" - You will get the "Run Application" Window.
* Type "gconf-editor" - You will get a Configuration Editor Screen as shown in the figure.
* Goto "Apps -> Metacity -> General" under the window dropdown menu.
* On the right side you can see a key named "button_layout"

It will have a value "maximize,minimize,close" in a different order. Change it to "menu:maximize,minimize,close". The editing can be done by right clicking on the value and pressing "Edit Key".

Press ok. This should do it.
