window-buttons

Every time I open my computer, I need to manually unset the value of button_layout in gconf-editor in /apps/metacity/general to make to the close, minimize and maximize buttons on the right side of the window, but every time I restart my computer it changes back to the left side.

I've tried to right-click the setting and choose "set as default" - but this doesn't work.

How can I make this be permanent?

How do I stop ubuntu from detaching minimize/maximuze/close buttons?

as seen on Ask Ubuntu - Search for 'Ask Ubuntu'
