This thread has nothing to do with GNOME Shell - can we shut it down?

(Current plans for GNOME 3 have the buttons on the right - there are
some modification you can see in the mockups - in particular, the window

options. This was done to prevent visual clutter from having the
application icon in too many different places.)
