I don't know if this has been mentioned/noticed, but this change of default effectively breaks a *load* of metacity themes, including Dust, Dust Sand and New Wave and probably hundreds more on gnome-look.org. Also Radiance and Ambiance also don't display properly in the theme dialog, but obviously that bug can be fixed, making a load of themes compatible with vanilla Gnome AND the new Ubuntu ordering isn't easy to fix.
Luke P.S. Also +1 on the muscle memory thing, I just can't get used to minimize/maximize this way round, and reversing it breaks the new themes. It basically looks like we can have the new themes, or every other theme out there, but not both without fiddling in gconf-editor each time.
