Unity global menu not honouring override properly

[Richard Appleby]

I have disabled the Unity global menu functionality by:

echo "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0" > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/81ubuntumenuproxy

and also returned the menu buttons to the right edge of my windows title bars by:

gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string ":minimize,maximize,close"

This mostly works as desired, except that when maximising a window, the global menu *still* steals the window buttons from the now-maximised window titlebar, hiding them under it's "application name", contrary to the override.

It also ignores the ordering that I have set for those buttons, and instead uses some sort of hardcoded order of "close, minimise, maximise", which is also wrong.

Sorry, I have given up on Unity, and no longer use it.
