Sorry, I couldn't resist. :) But seriously, arguing about which side the window decorations should be on is like arguing which flavour of cake tastes best. It took me two or three days to get used to having them on the opposite side the few times in my life where I switched from windows to mac to Gnome and then to Unity, but after a few days I got used to them. Here, have a slice of my chocolate cake. Chocolate is scientifically proven to be the best cake ever. :) Marc. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
