Metacity paths don't appear in gconf-editor

[Cefn]

I've been trying to find out how to put the window buttons to the left.

All the guides I've seen refer to the use of a path in gconf-editor apps/metacity but that path to properties settings is non-existent. Does that mean that some kind of configuration hasn't happened, yet. Where are the properties set, now.

I'm using this metacity configuration only in the context of using gtk-window-decorator in Compiz, though, rather than using metacity as a window manager, so it may be the bug/feature should be reported elsewhere.

I'm running Lubuntu 13.04 Beta 2.

metacity no longer uses gconf for its settings but gsettings instead. Install dconf-tools and you can use dconf-editor to browse settings.

I believe you are specifically looking for org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout .
