Comment 314 for bug 532633

"Moving such dangerous button as 'Close' into the mix increases it even more as you will want to be REALLY careful not to close your window by accident."

This should be the reason why the ’Close’-button is in the third place... for ’no’ clicking by accident.

"... there are many elements in one area"

That is the great stuff. It's a good usability-point... I don't see it negative - the opposite happens. ;-)

> While you might the merfect mouse sharpshooter, keeping in mind the needs of people with less precise mouse movements is also important - the precision needed to hit these buttons on the left among all the other control elements there is much higher than before - people with special needs and movement problems will have a much harder time navigating this environment.

Maybe. But even this I don't think it's so grave. The applications with important datas who's get a change will ask you before closing always if you're sure that you want close without ’save’ it. The second is, that the ’Close’-button is in a place there this kind of accidents are nearly impossible.

"This is why I would recommend the layout of 'minimize,maximize, title ,close'."

Safer, but more ugly. (my point of view)
