Thank you to everybody who has participated in this discussion.

The final decision on window controls for 10.04 LTS is as follows:

 - the window controls will remain on the left, however

 - the order will change to be (from left) close, minimize, maximise

The decision is based on the view that putting the close button in the

corner will be most familiar to many users, even if the particular

choice of corner is not.

For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a comment dependent on the date

:-)

Our intent is to encourage innovation, discussion, and design with the

right of the window title bar. We have some ideas, and others are

already springing up in the community. We welcome participation on the

Ayatana list, where those can play out. This will be a fruitful topic

for the design track at UDS in Brussels in May.

This bug is now marked wontfix. Please focus ongoing participation on

the opportunities for innovation that this opens up. The decision as to

the window controls location and order itself is now final, and as they

say in the old newspapers, no further correspondence will be entered

into.
