Move the Window Buttons in Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Lucid has chosen to put the Close, Maximize and Minimize buttons on the left hand side of the window. I prefer the original layout, with the buttons on the right. You can alter the button positions using gconf to edit the settings. However, we have quite a lot of computers in our house and I wanted a simpler method.

I wrote a Python script to make the whole process simpler. You can use the script to move the buttons to the right, or to restore the Lucid default.

./move_buttons.py --option
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  -d, --default  Restore Lucid defaults.
  -r, --right    Position window controls to the right.
