Comment 691 for bug 532633

FYI, As of 04/11/2010 the following is also NOT true. I have switched back and forth from various themes... all buttons are on the left... always! Sad thing for Ubuntu is that when the users 'do' upgrade there will be a HUGE uproar. Unfortunately due to the way this issue has been handled or rather not handled you will have lost quite a few "old" testers. No personal attack intended here however the comment I read earlier intending to be a double meaning of clearing out the "old" was obviously made by someone very young and unwise. A person who has been around understands they do not know even half of what is there to know. I'm sure someone much wiser and "older" uttered something similar much more eloquently than I before. I like Ubuntu, I hate to leave however it seems you are ushering us out...

1. Only new themes, such as Ambiance and Radiance will have buttons on the left by default. You can continue using old themes, such as Human, in Lucid and those themes will continue to have buttons on the right side (according to http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/577 ). It is even possible to switch to Human theme and then 'Customize' it to use all the elements from Radiance theme, but the button layout will stay on the right.
