Can no longer move windows controls to the right (16.04) - gsettings has no effect now

[yossarian_uk]

Just installed 16.04 beta2 (plus latest updates), I can no longer move the window controls to the right.

On previous ubuntu versions I would use the command

 # gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'menu:minimize,maximize,close'

But this has no effect, neither does 'window controls' section of the unity-tweak-tool any longer - if I choose right nothing happens.

If I check the setting with

 # gsettings list-recursively | grep button-layout

I see

 org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'menu:minimize,maximize,close'

How can I move the window buttons to the right now ?

Please vote on bug 1622043, to allow the user to change the location of the window controls.

So I notice that the buttons work for chrome windows, but not work for other applications.

I'm using Linux Mint 18.3. I cannot move the control buttons to left for applications "Calculator" and "Disks". With other applications it's working fine.
