In Ubuntu 10.04, the close button is on the LEFT side! How do you change that? I'm much more used to the button on the right side. I just upgraded from 9.10.

To move all the buttons back to the right hand side, run the following in a terminal:

   gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"

Good luck,
George
