make window controls and indicators switch places

there is:
envelope, network, sound, time, me, system settings containing shutdown
there could be:
envelope, me, time, system settings containing network, sound and shutdown

put the texts close, minimize and maximize respectivelly after the icons 
close, minimize and maximize

with simple indicators, you can learn unity from left to right easily
with labelled window controls, you can discover the window controls easily

or

move the launcher to the bottom of the screen

does anybody have any other proposal?
