Bug Description

button-layout seems to be defined to ':minimize,maximize,close', while in Ubuntu it should be 'close,minimize,maximize:'. This comes into effect as compiz has gtk-window-decorator ported to GSettings.

Found out that I was not having ubuntu-desktop meta-package anymore and therefore also missing ubuntu-default-settings.

    Mirv | can be fixed manually by gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'close,minimize,maximize'
didrocks | Mirv: the default is 'close,minimize,maximize:'
didrocks | what did you test exactly?
    Mirv | didrocks: ah, should be ":" in the end?
didrocks | Mirv: yeah, but that's the default
    Mirv | didrocks: it's not after gtk-window-decorator starts using gsettings and the default from gsettings-desktop.schemas
    Mirv | so if one upgrades to 0.9.8.2 from eg. ppa:timo-jyrinki/compiz-withoutgconf then buttons are on the right side
didrocks | Mirv: are you sure you had the default set?
    Mirv | didrocks: what do you mean, where? the buttons are on the right side also in guest session.
didrocks | Mirv: I think your bug is different, the default is already close,minimize,maximize:
    Mirv | didrocks: it's not in the schema file of gsettins-desktop-schemas
didrocks | so maybe compiz is not reading the real value
didrocks | Mirv: because it doesn't work like that, we don't sed the schemas
didrocks | we have overrides files
didrocks | try this:
didrocks | gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout
didrocks | gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout
didrocks | what do you get?
    Mirv | didrocks: on current quantal version, in guest session, :minimize,maximize,close
