most convenient way:
Do the following to get the minimize, maximize, and close on the right side in the right order.

Hit ALT – F2

Type gconf-editor

Go to the following:

apps –> metacity –> general

Find the button_layout parameter, right mouse click, and select Edit Key

Change the value to the following:

:minimize,maximize,close

Don’t forget the colon on the left side of the text.

You will then have it the way you are used to it.

For whatever reason, even if I make the change, the location doesn’t want to ACTUALLY switch.

I’m stumped…

Yes that will work also. I rarely use that menu therefore didn’t even
realize it was missing.
Thanks
