Well, I may be a weirdo, but I personally am troubled more by the
not-rotated buttons. I would say that it requires more "brain work" to
assemble the rotated title bar into something familiar if the buttons
are not rotated (because the brain already rotates the whole image (the
text IS rotated) as to "understand" it, and then it has to rotate the
buttons again (because they don't play along with the, already rotated,
text). So it's twice the work for the brain - If you happen to "see" the
titlebar as a whole, and not as "rotated text"+"not rotated buttons".

So I would be for the rotation of the button pixmaps. Pretty please :)
(Of course as an toggle-option)

Furthermore, it's just that there are themes that simply require the
rotation of buttons. The current rotation feature is great, but if
a theme uses not-so-symmetrical buttons you will never *want* to rotate
the titlebar - because the theme will start to look ugly, or it will
simply lose it's "magic". Unless the buttons get rotated together with
the text/background pixmaps.
