Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

For ex, if the button_layout is changed to 'menu:minimize,maximize,close' in one theme (for ex in ambiance) and then if I change the theme to something else(for ex, clearlooks) and then if I again revert back to the earlier ambiance theme, the bottons are aligned again on the top left, instead of top right.

I tried with different combinations of themes and looks like there is no fixed behavior for the button layout.

The actual setting of button_layout must remain the same irrespective of theme changes.

the layouts may be part of the themes. It appears to be so at least with 'Ambience'

Yeah the themes can control the layout. Unity they cant but otherwise...

EOL have been reached, so no more maintenance. If that issue still exist, then report again using ubuntu-bug.
