Idea #27090: Close, Maximize, Minimize buttons position isn't desirable everyone

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #23899: Move the min, max, close buttons back to the right in 10.04.
Written by mystro256 the 31 Jan 11 at 21:36. Related project: Gnome. Status: Not an idea
Rationale
In every version before 10.04 (correct me if I'm wrong) has the close, maximize, minimize buttons on the top right for the default theme. When I installed 10.04 and 10.10, If I want to use the ambiance I have to go into gconf-editor and edit /apps/metacity/general/button_layout to ":minimize,maximize,close" rather than "close,maximize,minimize:"

My reasoning is not stubbornness but I really don't like the Mac style of window buttons, mostly because the buttons are too close to the file/edit menus; I have more than once closed a window by accident because of a mis-click (My poor dexterity doesn't help). Furthermore, I think the buttons on the right look nicer, one thing micro$oft did right.

Solution #1: Add an option in the Appearance menu

Some people like it one way, some people like another way. Why not add the option to set it in the Appearance menu? Maybe also during installation.
