If you are using Windows and Ubuntu together, it may be better for you
to have the buttons at the same location on both systems. On the
other hand, Mac+Ubuntu users should be happier with the new layout.

I control my windows mostly with the keyboard (compiz has some great
options for this), so I am not bothered with the new layout most of the
time. ;)
