Scholli: editing a system data file is _not_ a ideal solution, because it changes will get overwritten any time that a new version of the package ('light-themes') is supplied. Instead; supply a local setting as detailed at the top of this bug report:

  gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "close,minimize,maximize:menu" (your preferred example)

Alternatively, if yourself, or another user has tweaked the setting (for instance during this beta episode) then run the following to cleanly return it to whatever defaults are in place:
  gconftool-2 --unset /apps/metacity/general/button_layout
