Dust Theme menu buttons don't extend to the top of the window

[Stenten]

Binary package hint: gnome-themes-ubuntu

On my Lucid install, I removed the top panel and made a Dust theme with the old menu button configuration by following the workaround on the Ubuntu Forums: Set theme to New Wave, customize Controls: Dust; Window Border: Dust; Icons: Ubuntu-Mono-Dark.

In this setup, maximized windows have the close button is in the top-right corner of the screen, so I should be able to throw the cursor to the top-right to close a window. However, the menu buttons don't extend to the top of my screen, i.e. I can run the cursor along the top without any of the menu buttons being selected. I should note, though, that the close button is selected along the right edge of the screen.

This is present in the default Dust theme too, except it's on both edges of the screen, i.e. I can run the cursor along the top and left edges without selecting any menu buttons (again without the top panel). The default New Wave theme behaves as it should: menu buttons are selected along the top and right edges of the screen.

Screenshots of my configuration are attached. If you would like screenshots of the other themes, I'd be happy to provide them too.

Stenten, please run this in terminal:
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout “menu:minimize,maximize,close”
... and say if this helped you.

All this did was make my 'close' button disappear; it did not fix the
problem. I had to switch to a different theme and then back to my custom one
to get the close button back.
