Dear Mr. Shuttleworth & Ubuntu design team:

Now that you've reminded us, the end users, of our proper place in the
pecking order, I would respectfully request that you consider adding an
easy way of changing the min/max/close buttons from the left back to the
right. Perhaps by providing a simple radio button choice in the
Appearance Preferences.

It may seem silly to argue this much over where those buttons are, but,
I must say I've been dinking with computers for over 20 years, and have
been pushing my mouse up to the right-hand corner of application windows
to get to the min/max/close buttons for approximately the same amount of
time. The cliche "I know it like the back of my hand" applies here. I'm
simply not going to spend time adapting to a new way of doing things
just because the design team of one "flavor" of one Linux distro thinks
it looks good.

Nor do I want to futz around with gconf-editor or add a repository every
time I install Ubuntu, just to get those buttons back to where I'm
accustomed.

Why should you care? Only because I doubt I'm the only one who feels
this way.
