In a reply-to-self, it _is_ worth noting that the proposed buttons are a LOT clearer and better than the Mac OS X ones.

Also, Apple's button positioning on the top left is "right" psychologically for left-to-right, top-to-bottom reading cultures (ie: increasingly all of them) because the top-right corner is a visual dead zone that we're not good at noticing things in. So copying that much _is_ a good idea.

As for the close box not being edge-most... that seems pretty strange.
