How do I move window buttons to left hand side?

hi Jim

very peculiar this behaviour, it reminds me of when I was using the mate desktop; it interfered continously with configuration settings. you never knew which one had an effect. it got that annoying that i giot rid of mate and installed gnome-fallback-session which I still use and tweaked nicely to the way I want it.

sorry I can't help you any further

I am using LinuxMint 14 Cinnamon. I did it by going to Menu, Preferences, Cinnamon settings, Windows. Changed the left side title bar buttons.

Thanks for the tip.

I installed dconf-editor, after opening it I navigated to button layout in preferences. The default setting is: :minimize,maximize,close, I
changed it to: close,minimize,maximize:. I tried logging out and back in and then rebooting. Each time the button layout reverted back to the
default setting.

I think I will just leave it the way it is.

Try Menu>Preferences>Cinnamon Settings>Windows
Change is immediate
