Bug Description

Here is a patch, which adds an option under "Windows" section of Gnome Tweak Tool for moving window buttons to the Left side of windows (like Ubuntu does) or to the Right.
This ability is already requested by users, see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649132 , also http://askubuntu.com/q/66541/62589 , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11976995 and http://www.howtogeek.com/105315/move-the-window-buttons-back-to-the-right-in-ubuntu-11.10/
This patch currently uses Gconf instead of GSettings because latest Ubuntu versions (12.04 LTS and 12.10) still use Gconf-based Metacity 2.34.1 and Compiz in Ubuntu (Unity interface) also uses Gconf key, not GSettings.
