I'm Mac+Ubuntu user and I was so annoyed when mark said he is gonna
revert the order on the left handside to close,min,full
(title)(space)
min,full, close.    (title)(space)

My mouse always stays roughly in the center of the screeen and close
button is the most often I have to reach for with my mouse so i
preffered the beta like controls with "close" being the closest. It
was refreshing =(
