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:
- 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
- Navigate to "apps->metacity->general"
- 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

On Xubuntu 12.04 simply open System Settings>Windows Manager and drag buttons to whatever side and order you want.
^^ Good call. That was much easier lol. Thanks for the information from everyone though.
