This might be useful and was partly pillaged from ALIENDUDE5300 from this thread.
In Lucid Lynx the Border Icons have been moved from right to left. Presumably to prevent unwanted window closure. However, this system is just as likely to fail so enter the below and you should have close on the left and everything else on the right. No more accidental window closures.
add this to the terminal assuming you don’t have a different wm :
gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "close:minimize,maximize"
