@Pako:"Gesture precision has nothing to do with the left or right side"
Please, read again...
I was saying that with current desktop+window layout (having applications menu in application window, unlike Mac OS where menus of the selected windows appear on desktop top bar), being imprecise when buttons are right is not a big problem: Worst case make you select the background.
When left, everything looks too close and the risk is to hit close/min/max buttons when you want to open an application menu (typicelly the "File" menu, always at the left).
With right buttons, separation was clear... as the separation is also clear in Mac OS whatever the buttons position is because the logic of the interface differs: Menus are not in application window.
So it's not a problem of precision being better right or left sided... but the consequences of the same error are now worse: Up to killing the application you're working with.
This is the problem of copying some elements of an interface missing others: Coherence is lost.
Watch this to see the fundamental difference... but carefully this time:
