The goal of gnome should not be to recreate every feature of every other 
desktop (button ordering in this case is sort of a feature I guess) imho. In 
most cases we should pick a good default and just go with it. In the case of 
button ordering the ui team and hackers have made a decision, namely that the 
current button ordering is better for long term usability of the desktop and 
for adoption by new users. I know it may be confusing at first, but as more 
gnome apps adopt the new ordering, you will see the gnome desktop become much 
easier to use. While I respect your opinion, i think that in this case we 
have made a sane usable decision, and adding a preference would add unneeded 
ui/coding complexity.
