(Get the code!)
Essentially, we have to take a decision whether we can support that
gconf/dconf key completely, or just drop it completely.
I think we *could* support the button order, spreading the buttons
between left-of-
maximised windows.
Personally, I think buttons on the left is the only approach that makes
sense. Very, very few people change it, despite the ease with which it
can be changed and the outcry when the left side was initially adopted
in Ubuntu. In that light, dropping unused codepaths in exchange for
better tested code seems sane to me.
However.
This is such a sensitive issue, that I'd be happy to accept a patch
which follows button-order gconf key and puts that in the Unity panel.
It would need to be a patch with lots of automated tests, though,
because that codepath will not get a lot of user or developer testing in
the normal course of things.
