I don't know why that button should be given such an important place on the screen. In my own private designs, I've even eliminated it.
From another mail, I see you refer to the close button.The window buttons are on the left, to allow merging of titlebar and top panel for maximized windows without having to move the indicator-menus.
Within the group of window buttons, the close button is deemed the most important. Putting it left makes it the easiest target, if the window is maximized, as it sits in the corner, then.
I guess there's also the underlying assumption that the majority of users tend to use the close button, not a shortcut (or the HUD).
With all that in mind, would you still want to eliminate it, or move it somewhere else?
