Ubuntu :: 10.04 Desktop - How To Configure Window Close Button
May 6, 2010
I upgraded 9.10 desktop to 10.04 using network (recommended) procedure.The window close button has moved (all desktop windows) from upper right corner to upper left corner. This causes untold frustration since I flip amongst numerous computers with Windows windows and other levels of UBUNTU windows. is there some way to configure where the window close button is (some way to put it back in the upper right corner)?

I like to start Emacs as part of a login script and leave it running for the duration of my login session (which is typically weeks).
I have scripts to call emacs-client which will allow me to use a file-manager or Windows Explorer to locate files and right-click to edit them in Emacs.
I often end up with a lot of emacs windows (frames) open and I like to just be able to close them by clicking on the MS-Windows or KDE X button at the top-right.
The trouble is, if the window is the last one, this will shut down emacs which will lose all kinds of interesting history information.
As a work-around I use C-x 5 0 which won't let me close the last frame but this is often not as convenient as using the mouse
Does anyone know how to configure Emacs so that it can intercept the Window-Close button of the last frame to either request confirmation or simply disallow it?
On MS-Windows, disallowing closing of the last window may cause logoff to hang if emacs is still running but I'm not too worried about that.

I've been using this feature since Win3.1 days. Double-click the menu button on the top-left of the window to close it.It doesn't work for me right now in KDE, and I can't find any option to enable it. Googling gave a few hits of people requesting this feature in gnome, but no clear instructions on how to enable it in KDE or whether it's possible. (Though perhaps my Google-fu is just weak...)

1) How do I align my desktop icons to a grid?
2) Is it possible to move the close, maximize, and minimize buttons to the left side of the window? I prefer that to the since I'm used to GNOME Unity.

I know how to make another button act as the middle button but how can I map several mouse buttons to the middle button? xmodmap complains if I repeat button numbers in the pointer option.

I just want to change the color of the close button on windows of the Ambiance theme from the orange to blue. I copied the theme from usr/share into my .themes folder so I don't mess with the original, and then I just changed the name to Blue Ambiance and changed the appropriate .png files I found in the metacity folder to blue.When I select this new them in my appearance menu though nothing changes.

Why don't JACK windows behave in the standard way windows have, on every piece of software. for all OS's for many years? I haven't had the opportunity to test Jack audio in/out yet because of these problems. However, Jack does appear to start and indicates it is connected. After the Jack control panel loads normaly and appears to be connected, if I open the patchbay or messages panels, they cant be closed as individual windows. To close them I must QUIT Jack, and reopen, and reconnect. There is no exit button on the upper right corner of these windows.
If I right-click on these windows, the close option is shaded, preventing it's use. The Jack control panel does not appear to have drop-down menus to close them, either. If I accidentally do click the button in the upper right corner, which is habitual, the window will maximize to a scale that is somewhat larger than the size of the desktop on my screen, making resizing by dragging edges (top, bottom, corner) impossible. If I right click on the Jack Window's title bar (top) I can resize the window to my preference by clicking this option on the drop-down menu. It took me three or four weeks to find this option.
Also, I've seen some posts regarding Jack problems related to Firefox. Does Jack actually start Firefox when it opens or is connected? My system can't afford to have background processes or applications. System resources are too limited. I don't understand the difficulties involved with making Jack windows function as others do. It seems to my uneducated self, for example, that if the development of Jack had been done on some "visual" high level language, (Like C/C++ or Java, for example) making the windows function like others packages would simply be a matter of dragging GUI elements and defining their functions.
Here's a list of my system:
Old Single processor Intel box, P4, 3.0 GHz, with one Gig DDR memory
A old Sound Blaster 16 sound card. (works okay with linux)
(all hardware seems to be fully functional in all other Linux programs)
Linux Mint, (version 8) derived from Debian.
Ubuntu Studio, (version 10.4) also Debian.
Jack (version 0.3.4) on both distros. (Mint updated through repository< I believe, but I culd be wrong)
Firefox (version 3.5.9)
I prefer GUI solutions, but can generally get along okay with a terminal or file editor window. When it's absolutely necessary. The windows behave the same if I have another audio program running or not. The system works fine with ALSA drivers (MIDI.)

I've recently installed ubuntu, and right away from a fresh install programs would crash whenever I closed the last window. It doesn't give me any error messages, so I don't know what the problem is , just poof the programs is gone and I have to launch it again. This happens in almost every program, I've used except rtythmbox. it's not a big deal for the small programs that load instantly, but for firefox or openoffice it's big pain in the neck.

Motherboard: INTEL LGA775 DDR-3 PCI-e X16 SATA MBOARD

Everything was fine and dandy then I installed tonight's updates (about 6 of them - 2 or 3 for GTK and a couple of others) and now the close button at top right of the Firefox window doesn't work The buttons are still there, and the minimize and restore work ok, but the close button just flickers and leaves the window open. Also, if I right-click the tell-tale in the bottom bar of the desktop and slect "close" nothing happens. The FF window stays there
I can't think of any other way to close the window besides ending the processes in System Monitor. I can open other windows (like Home folder or Synaptic) and close those without a problem by clicking on the close button. It's just Firefox with the problem, so I don't think it is a Window Manager problem.

Just recently,on occassion when I log in to my main user, I don't get the Title Bars, or windows minimize, maximize, close buttons.
I have tried changing theme
I have noticed that running the "compiz" command from the main manu will restore the title bars etc, and that my second user (created yesterday) does not have that problem.
How can I diagnose what is going wrong ?

1. I open an application e.g. terminal
2. I close the application's window
3. Keyboard shortcuts do not work at all and if I want them back working, I have to click on the desktop's background I bet it has something to do with focus or compiz settings, because I've already had some problems with those in Unity. Now I'm on the "classic" ubuntu desktop. It didn't happen before upgrade..

As title states, they are missing, and from every window. I have googled this and found fixes but in doing some of the "fixes" the bar at the top of the screen disappears and docky becomes effectless.

I'm using KDE. I installed codecs for playing songs today, and tried to play a song using amarok. It didn't work, rather flooded my tool bar and the system hanged and I rebooted. It was fine before, but after I rebooted, a new problem raised.
Every time I close any window, something changes, and the windows lose their title bars (minimizing, maximizing, closing option), and neither it can be closed from the tool bar (bottom) panel, nor can be moved. The Kickoff Application launcher is also not working. Every time i close a window, I got to log out and re log in. I tried to change in the System Settings>Appearance but nothing works, and even when I close that window, the same happens.

Is there anyway to have the close "X" button in the top left corner of each window on its own? This would make accidental closings of windows less likely when the intent was just to restore/maximize. Mostly it would just speed things up I believe. So is there any way to have the close button in the top left corner of each window and to have the minimize and restore/maximize buttons remain in the top right corner of each window
