Linux on a fujitsu U810 - Lucid setup

As a reminder for anyone upgrading to lucid:

when I booted into X after upgrading to ubuntu lucid, I missed the minimize/maximize/close buttons at the top-right of every window; for some reason, they are not there.

In order to make these buttons reappear, proceed as follows: (info taken from
http://www.baptiste-wicht.com/2010/05/ubuntu-lucid-lynx-buttons-right/)

- start gconf-editor (type gconf-editor at the terminal)

- go to : apps > metacity > general. You’ll see here a key named button_layout with the default value of “close,minimize,maximize:”. To put the buttons like in
the other versions, you just have to edit this value to

:minimize,maximize,close

And then all your windows will have the normal button order at the right of the window title bar.

- if you want to include the window menu, you can change the value to :

menu:minimize,maximize,close
