re:  (Data and Gnome3)

Hmmm, I think we just agreed. :)  Woohoo.   Gnome3 is a big carrot of
motivation to enable the moving the buttons to the left and not invoke
the "pitchforks".  In fact I would imagine some pitchforks would get
invoked if the buttons didn't shift with Gnome 3 due to it being so
"left heavy".  Like I said, my wife didn't object with Gnome3 and
buttons on the left, but was quite angry with Gnome2 and the same
change.  She's my "average test user", in fact about as average as it
gets.

I'm not totally sure how others use their mouse, but keep in mind I rest
my mouse a lot off center to the right, or at the bottom of the screen
out of the way of the text I'm reading, or FAR right with the scroll
bar.  (guess the scroll bar needs to move?)  That really doesn't change
too much in Gnome3, and I don't necessarily care that much about how
efficient my mousing is.  :)   But with Gnome 3 you're always headed up
to the left corner to switch windows anyway, and having the close button
up there simplifies the thought process a bit, without thinking about it
changing anything.  It just makes sense.  Hence my preference for left
buttons on Gnome 3.

Cheers
Jeff
