Comment 31 for bug 532224

@Paul Sladen: Yeah, but I think the reason behind the change is the same as KDE's default button layout, which in gconf terms would be menu:minimize,maximize,spacer,spacer,close. That is, I think they're trying to prevent accidental clicks in the close button. I think Lucid's new layout suceeds there in that it forces you to intently aim for the red button if you want to click it.

Whichever approach is the best, however, is open for debate. I won't pick sides, and that's why I set for some way to make Ambiance/Radiance support more button setups without losing the intended appearance.
