But keep in mind this google+ reply [1] to a comment [2] on a post [3]
 by a unity developer:

[2] one less customization possibility on Unity: window buttons position...

[1] I understand the concerns, but considering that this design
decision has been made so long time ago, and I think that having top
panel buttons (for maximized windows) on the left and decoration
buttons on the right is something not consistent at all, and thus it
doesn't make much sense supporting it (considering it needs some extra
work). I can probably make possible to use old decorations if much
requested, but for now we've other priorities...
