I just named a few, prominent applications.

Is it planned to change the button layout in KDE, Xfce, LXDE and all other
desktops too? Cause if not, there will be not only an inconsistency between
Ubuntu and all other distributions and desktops, but also between the
different Ubuntu derivatives. This would be very bad, I suppose cause there
will be much confusion for users and for application developers who draw
their own window decorations.
