Title:
  Unity's panel does not respect right-aligned window control settings
  (maximized windows)

Bug description:
  I realise that this is an issue that has likely been raised time and
  again since the decision to switch window controls to the left-hand
  side by default. However, given the cementing of the user interface
  represented by Unity (and the inclusion of window controls within the
  Unity panel) I felt that it was worth a revisit.

  I can only speak to my own experiences, but as someone who is forced
  through circumstance to dual-boot both Ubuntu and Windows. I work
  within an academic research environment, wherein the vast majority of
  laboratory equipment and scientific software relies upon Windows. The
  down shot of this is that I have little choice but to dual-boot or VM
  into Windows when manipulating or translating data, and the transition
  from a right-handed to a left-handed (for want of better phraseology)
  is a little jarring to say the least (it definitely impacts on my
  efficiency). I'm sure I'm not alone in this, as many workplaces and IT
  departments tend to provision workspaces on a Windows only basis.

  Surely providing an optional right-handed UI mode is not beyond the
  wit of the Unity developers.
