You are way late to the party here mate. :) With the Unity up and running this change makes perfect sense. The close button is in the top left corner of the screen and is very accessible. I was a skeptic, but now I am converted. Minor quible: it is not in the very corner but a few pixels off,

I am pretty sure this is a bug in a higher level library that provides the drop-down combobox (GTK?) and that this is also a regression. I clearly remember being able to jump around drop-down comboboxes with a keyboard before, but now it is not working (including 11.04) -- You received this bug

It is also a bit more than just annoying. On my computer during natty upgrade my gnome-terminal did not have the enter key, so effectively it was non-functional until I added the simlink. If the upgrade were to break for some reason, I would have a system with an non-functional teminal. -- You

The difference between Debian and Ubuntu is that Ubuntu makes all the choices for you, so that you don't have to think about them. The choices made are made by people that know more about the system than most of us do, so they are very likely are very good choices. However, you might dislike

Too many control elements in the same place actually increase distance between all of them due to Fitts law - if there are many elements in one area, you need to slow down the mouse movement to accurately hit the one specific target you are aiming for. Moving such dangerous button as 'Close' into
