For some strange reason, i believe someone over at Ubuntu was under the influence during the day they did this - they've moved and rearranged the Minimise, Maximise and Close buttons to the left hand side resembling that of a MAC.
Well, with Linux being Linux we can change that and move the buttons back to where they belong.
The location is set in to a configuration file, we're going to use the graphical program gconf-editor to edit the file.
Steps
1) Press Alt+F2 on your keyboard at the same time to bring up the Run Application dialogue box
2) Type “gconf-editor” in the text field, and click on Run. Once you've done that the configuration editor should pop up.
3) Navigate to apps/metacity/general
4) Then double click "button_layout" on the right and replace the "close,minimize,maximize:" with ":minimize,maximize,close"
5) Click OK and it should change immediately. Now just simply close the editor, sit back and relax.
