Setting the preference to move window control to the right no longer works

[John Doe]

On earlier versions of ubuntu, either [gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout "menu:minimize,maximize,close"] or [gconftool -s /apps/metacity/general/button_layout -t string menu:minimize,maximize,close] enabled to change the window control to the right. Now, in Trusty (14.04) even the unity-tweak-tool, which still enables this option, isn't able to achieve the wanted result.

This is probably due to the new unity decorations.

The user should still have the opportunity to choose this setting (let the user choose, whenever there are differences about user experience preferences), if only because the XP support just ended and all these new users don't want to have that much of a user experience difference when going to Trusty (don't make the same mistake windows 8 did, thinking users will adapt to UI changes - letting the user choose in such cases is always the best option).

This is my first bug filing report, sorry if it doesn't fit the format you are used to, feel free to edit it, but I think it really brings up in important point that has to be addressed in a LTS release.

Is there at least any unofficial patch to move buttons to the right?
Although I like Ubuntu & Unity much, this bug lets me switch to
Mint & Cinnamon instead.
