It would seem that only the two new (default) Ubuntu lucid themes have the
buttons on the left hand side.

It seems that most if not all of the themes you download from
http://gnome-look.org/ or http://art.gnome.org/themes/ are the traditional
orientation.

As a netbook interface user I dont really notice as I dont use min/max -
everything is max and its very productive that way.  However, I do usually
run two netbooks, so perhaps that's cheating...
