To clarify the question, I believe this relates to the Unity interface in Ubuntu 11.04. If the window controls are switched to the right of the screen, they function correctly when an application is running in a window. However, if the application is maximized, the window controls switch to the left side of the screen.

While this may be considered to be a bug, since the user has indicated a preference for the "normal" (i.e. historical) location of the window controls by changing the system configuration, it is apparently a designed-in feature, related to positioning the controls in the top panel.

See http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/natty/panel where it is stated that "When you maximize an application, the window controls (Close, Minimize, Maximize) are moved into the panel to give you more vertical working space."

Here is the trick.

Press alt+f2.
Type gconf-editor.
Select apps/metacity/general
Look for button_layout and change the value in to this.
menu:minimize,maximize,close

The button will change right then and then from left to right. if it wont change try logging out.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

note: before colon (:) means the buttons are on left side and after colon (:) means the buttons are on the right side.

or if your still confuse visit this link http://www.cebuntu.com/how-to/changing-window-button-from-left-to-right/
