It appears those screenshots were outdated.  Quoting Ars Technica [1]:

"When we posted screenshots from the design documents yesterday, the
placement of the window titlebar buttons in the Metacity theme proved
to be one of the most controversial issues. Many of our readers
expressed that they disliked the button arrangement and positioning
along the left-hand side of the titlebar. The critics will be pleased
to learn that the titlebar buttons are located in their usual place on
the right-hand side in the official theme packages."
