Bug Description

There has been VERY much talk whether windows control buttons should be on the left or right.
The rationale are:
- personal taste
- buttons accessibility when the window corners get out of the screen

The corners and buttons can disappear at any side.

Be it as a personal setting or as a distribution wide choice,
an Egg of Columbus solution is to have those buttons on both sides.

Alas, close,maximize,minimize,menu:menu,maximize,minimize,close
won't work in gconf-editor:apps/metacity/general/button_layout
