Hi James,

Please file a separate bug report for this issue; it shouldn't happen.

However, I should also mention I can't reproduce it here. Keep in mind
that button position is set in index.theme for each specific theme,
which is the file that says "this window manager theme + this gtk
theme + this colour scheme is a theme by this name." (Essentially
responsible for the individual theme choices that get icons and names
in Appearance Preferences). If you use the Customize option on a
theme, it creates a brand new index.theme file for a brand new theme
and it doesn't record a specific button layout for that.

Okay, my explanation wasn't very good, but these steps should give you
a nice picture:
 * Select Human theme.
 * Note window buttons on right (unless something weird has happened,
justifying a separate bug report).
 * Click Customize and go to the Window Border tab. Choose any other
window border, for example Ambience.
 * Note that window buttons do not change position.
 * Note that your theme, under Appearance Preferences›Theme is called
"Custom" :)
