Good luck with that after unilaterally borking the UI design in the latest LTS release.

  I think I may have accidently downvoted you, sorry. Either that or by the time I returned to the tab you were at -1 but still being displayed as 1 to me as I hadn't refreshed. I think you are correct as GNU/Linux has largely followed Microsoft button placement for so long it seems to be too much of a break with what people are used to for such an unproven gain (can anyone actually point to any evidence for these buttons? I'd gladly change my mind if there is some).

  The window buttons on the left side work out well for me - my monitor has a high resolution and most of the time my focus is on the top left of a window. Now there's no need for me to get my focus the top right.

  I read the other day that they've come to a compromise with the positions of the buttons. They're staying on the left, but the close button will be in the corner of the window - it'll go close, minimise, maximise. I'm happy with that personally; it wasn't the position of the buttons as a whole that was a little annoying but the fact that "close" wasn't in the corner. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/04/ubuntu-window-buttons-staying-left-but.html http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/04/ubuntu-window-buttons-sta...
