The behaviour of dconf-editor in this situation is rather odd. The change to button-layout only seems to have the desired effect if it is input without quotes, neither single nor double. This is odd because the other strings in org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences have single quotes.
On my system if the button-layout string is input with qoutes the effect seems to the same as ":minimize,maximise" even though the string is in fact "menu:minimize,maximise,close." If in doubt use gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button- layout '<string>' which seems reliable. By the way I am using gnome-session- fallback (classic) mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1144631 Title: windows decoration buttons on the right side in raring To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1144631/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
