HOWTO move the window buttons in gnome-shell to the left side
I love the Ubuntu button on the left side but after install&setup the 12.10, they move the buttons back to the right.
So, I searching/googling I use gnome-shell and the gconf method didnot work anymore I know I have to user dconf editor.
There's many many more, but use same command and it did not work on my machine.
Just excute this command in a terminal
$gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout close,maximiez,minimize:
Or use dconf editor; Well, install the dconf editor.
$sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
Open it go to/navigate to org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences, change the value of button-layout to :minimize,maximize,close
If you're like mine it will not work! buttons still there, on the right did not moved :(
Here's how
navigate to this instead: org/gnome/shell/overrides/ change the value of button-layout to :minimize,maximize,close

Gotcha! I'm a happy man now :) Have a good day!
