I still have Ubuntu 12.04 (with Unity) on one of my partitions |
| 18 |
(but never use it for more that 5 minutes from the startup to |
| 19 |
shutdown, anyway :). |

So, I can check if your statement is true. Just tell me |
| 22 |
how to reposition the window control buttons in Unity. |

I promise to report the result of this test here. |

Back in 2012, after trying to find how to do it, I looked into |
| 27 |
Ubuntu forum and found out that many users complained about it |
| 28 |
and always got the answer that it is impossible and that Ubuntu |
| 29 |
developers know better what the users need than the users itself. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
But even if you prove to be right (which I very much doubt), |
| 32 |
for me it turned out easier to find out how to install and |
| 33 |
maintain Gentoo (with gnome2, dwm and xfce4) than to find |
| 34 |
out how to reposition the window control buttons in Unity. |
