You forgot a comma between "minimize" and "maximize".  Or it got eaten!  :-)

Also just for future reference, you could use the line continuation
character ('\') and the command will work correctly if pasted as two
lines:

gconftool-2 --type string --set \
/apps/metacity/general/button_layout "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
