Changing the menu buttons positions on Ubuntu 11.10

Hello

I’m still setting up my Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). Let’s change the menu buttons (minimize, maximize, close) position to the right (again).

Open your Terminal
$ sudo apt-get install gconf-editor

Run it
$ gconf-editor

Go to “apps/metacity/general/”
Find “button_layout” and update the value to:

menu:minimize,maximize,close

Save, logout, login. Done!

Best Regards,
Matheus

  1. Good post, the kind that respects the reader by getting to the point quickly without skipping the details that matter, and a short look at brightfuturedeals confirmed that approach is consistent across the site which is rare to find online these days, definitely a place I will return to soon.

  2. http://studiococorico.fr/
    Le projet Studiococorico s’impose comme une structure experimentee implantee sur le cadre national francais, qui met a disposition une approche complete a ceux qui recherchent des resultats, en priorisant sur les resultats. Plus d’informations sur le site officiel.

  3. Worth pointing out that the writing reads as confident without being defensive about it, and a look at authenticlivinggoods extended that secure tone, content that does not pre emptively argue against imagined critics has a different quality from defensive writing and this site reads as written from a place of real ease.

  4. Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to ilobyte I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.

  5. Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at discoverwhatworksbest took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.

  6. Reading this triggered a small but real correction in something I had assumed, and a stop at learnandadjustquickly extended that corrective effect, content that updates my beliefs through evidence rather than rhetoric is content with intellectual integrity and this site has earned that label consistently across the pieces I have read so far today.

  7. Reading this with a fresh mind in the morning brought out details I might have missed in the afternoon, and a stop at createprogresssystems earned the same fresh attention, content that rewards being read at full attention rather than at energy lows is content with real density and this site has that density consistently.

  8. Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at createvalueconsistently maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.

  9. Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at findgrowthsolutions continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.

  10. Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at exploreinnovativepaths reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.
