Hello,

First thanks for all your work on Ubuntu and design !

I already asked this question in Ayatana Ubuntu Launchpad site, but this 
list is perhaps a better place.

As Ubuntu now has "Close - Minimize - Maximize" buttons on right side of 
the window, as Unity panel will be on the left side of screen, I wonder 
if it would be possible also to get the "X" close buttons on tabs put to 
the left for the applications which are using tabs :

Firefox - Thunderbird - Libre Office - Empathy - Nautilus - Gedit - 
Shutter...

I don't know if application tabs are affected by themes in the same way 
that title bars, and if not, if it requires a fix in GTK+ GUI framework 
(moreover, work should be different for GTK+ applications and others 
like Firefox) ?

Because now we are used to automatically go on left upper side to close, 
and this would make sense with a global uniform behavior.

This is just a detail, not critical thing, and I fully know there are 
plenty of work to do before (on Unity...), but as user it's a  matter of 
visual and practical aspect which could being integrated in the future 
theme (I think icons should be updated for 11.10 or 12.04).

Is it something you have in mind for Ubuntu ?

Thanks. Best regards,

Xavier
