Ubuntu's window buttons to stay on the left

Mark Shuttleworth has rendered a verdict on the location of the window controls for Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) and presumably beyond. They will stay in the upper left, but the order will change from how they appeared in the beta; now it will be (from left to right): close, minimize, maximize. We looked at the topic last week, as well as a discussion of what might be done with the newly clear upper right part of the window border. "This bug is now marked wontfix. Please focus ongoing participation on the opportunities for innovation that this opens up. The decision as to the window controls location and order itself is now final, and as they say in the old newspapers, no further correspondence will be entered into."
