[ubuntu-art] Metacity Button Order Changed

[Bob Hazard]

I have never got on well with the apple layout and I was taken aback
by the screenshots, but in use it actually feels very natural to have
maximise on the outside, and this is from someone who normally double
clicks on the titlebar to maximise.

Maybe it is because the symbols/colours are so much clearer in this
design, I think we naturally slow down and aim more carefully for the
close button anyway it seems to work for me in the inside. Takes me
back to good old RISC OS 3.

At first I still clicked on the menubutton a few times; I do fear my
Dad will be confused on his laptop.
