2. Type gconf-editor into the box, click "Run" to bring up Configuration Editor.


3. Browse to apps > metacity > general, look for "button_layout" on the right panel.


4. Change the value in the "button_layout" from close,minimize,maximize: to menu:minimize,maximize,close and press the Enter key.
