/org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/button-layout not being respected after alt-f2 r enter

[shemgp]

When pressing alt-f2 r enter, the /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/button-layout is not being respected. I've set it to: close,minimize,maximize:appmenu, but the buttons go to the right. When I start gnome-shell from gdm3, the buttons are left as expected. Only when I refresh or kill gnome-shell do they go to the right.

Thank you for looking into this bug.

Just a follow up: running gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'close,minimize,maximize:appmenu' does nothing.
