Unity's panel does not respect right-aligned window control settings

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.
