How can I move the close window button from right to left side?

Nautilus

I upgrated the Gnome from 3.8 to Gnome 3.10.0.1.

I already moved the maximize, minimize and close buttons to left side with the following result:

Mozilla Firefox

...but it seems that the Nautilus (for example) close button is not moved. Why? How can I move it?

@Mitch Ah, I forgot to say that I didn't find the answer here... – Ionică Bizău Oct 03 '13 at 14:13

This would be the same in 13.04 and gnome 3.10, so I'm editing to be generic and voting to reopen. The reason is it is a change in gnome design. – Mateo Oct 03 '13 at 22:11
@Mateo Thanks! Like we wrote in chat, I also think that it's a Gnome feature, not a bug. – Ionică Bizău Oct 04 '13 at 03:37
@Mateo - if this is a change in design, then this question should be duplicated against the master Q - you should add a 13.10 answer on the master Q. – fossfreedom Oct 04 '13 at 09:43
@fossfreedom Ok, but please add the Gnome 3.10 solution... And again: it's not related to the Ubuntu version but to Gnome version. – Ionică Bizău Oct 04 '13 at 09:59
@Johnツ - I'll leave this to Mateo to do since Mateo recognises the issue. Yes the answer should be tagged 13.10+Gnome 3.10 – fossfreedom Oct 04 '13 at 10:46
I bet it's hard coded into Nautilus, like Chromium. Might have some code wrangling to do ;) – Seth Oct 05 '13 at 02:16
@Seth Yes, maybe... But it appears in other applications, so I think it's a new thing in Gnome 3.10. Also, I bet that it can be moved! :-) – Ionică Bizău Oct 05 '13 at 17:57
Thanks @Mateo for the solution you found! – Ionică Bizău Oct 05 '13 at 18:00
