The end of the web.

Here it is, after years of looking around and surfing through the (almost) endless ocean of information known as the internet, i have finally found the last webpage and the end of the net here

Change buttons from left to right in Ubuntu 10.04

When I first ran Ubuntu 'Lucid Linx 10.04' inside Virtual Box, i was really surprised of all the new features and look of the newest OS from Canonical... but hey, wait a minute, where the heck did my window buttons go? Why in the world did they move them to the left on this release? Probably a lot of you asked the same question, is this some kind of Mac-feeling-joke? I want to use Linux, not Mac, and for Google's sake i sure want my window buttons ON THE RIGHT SIDE AGAIN!!!!!

So here comes the solution, please notice that i'm a Kubuntu user and i ran the Ubuntu release inside a virtual machine, so there may be differences or this may not work at all for you, use at your own risk!!

First thing to do is open a terminal, either though your start menu or with Alt+F2 and execute this command (without the '<>' of course, you can also copy and paste it if you're too lazy to type)

< gconftool -s /apps/metacity/general/button_layout -t string menu:minimize,maximize,close >

After this your buttons should automagically be back on the right side of the screen.
