Move the Min, Max, Close buttons to the other side

Although it is a new experience to have the Min, Max, Close buttons on the left of a window, I prefer the old way. Here is how I did it by using gconf-editor:

1.  Open gconf-editor:
• Open the "run box" (Alt+F2 by default) and type "gconf-editor" followed by Enter
  or
• Open a Terminal window and enter the command "gconf-editor" followed by Enter
2. Navigate to "apps->metacity->general"
3. Check for the string "button_layout" and modify its value.
   Use these as guidelines:
   • The string "menu" adds a menu button and displays the context menu when clicked
   • The button you want to the right should be placed after ":"
   • The button that you want to the left should be placed before ":"
     
     Eg:
     :minimize,maximize,close
     
     minimize:maximize,close
     
     menu:maximize,close,minimize
     
     minimize,maximize,close:
     
     :menu,maximize,close,minimize
     
     
     

Autologin - Xubuntu

To enable autologin in Xubuntu:

• Open the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
          $ sudo leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
• Modify the value of the string "autologin-user" with the required user name
      Eg: autologin-user=MyLoginName
• Save the file
• Reboot/ restart

To enable autologin in Xubuntu10.04:

• Open the file /etc/gdm/custom.conf
          $ sudo mousepad /etc/gdm/custom.conf 
• Add these fields:
  
  TimedLoginEnable=false
  AutomaticLoginEnable=true
  TimedLogin=user_You_want_to_login
  AutomaticLogin=user_You_want_to_login
  TimedLoginDelay=30
• Save the file
• Reboot/ restart

Note:

• Make sure the user is created before modifying the file.
• You can use any text editor instead of leafpad/mousepad.
