I wanted to throw my voice out there as one saying "not in an LTS".
This was an unexpected change which I promptly reverted. To reply to #146, the issue is not being like Mac or Windows (though if I had to pick, I'd pick Windows because it makes evangelism easier--much larger base of Windows users to convert) so much as it is being like Ubuntu. And previous versions of Ubuntu have not been like this. In the past few releases, I've seen unjustified, abrupt, and awkward changes in common workflows like shutting down the system (removing the shutdown option from the System menu), restarting X (the removal of Ctrl+Alt+Backspace functionality), and now window manipulation. Because of the former I've now installed Mint's menu because I couldn't find a way to change it back. And, again, I promptly reverted the latter. All of these changes have yielded no discernible usability gain, and as a commenter above said, to make a change in the most common of users' workflows requires not just a good reason but a great one. There has to be some tangible benefit. If this change makes another later one easier, do them both at the same time so we can see what the grand scheme is. Otherwise it's just an unwanted interruption and another thing to learn for those of us stuck in a Windows [corporate] world by day. I suspect this change alone might lead people to check out Mint if implemented in the final release of Lucid. -- [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to "menu:minimize,maximize,close" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
