Small correction:  This has nothing to do with the theme.  Metacity
themes do not specify button layout.  Themes specify how the buttons
look, and Metacity sets the button layout based on a user preference. 
But, yes, the default Metacity layout is the Windows layout.  And that
amounts to the same thing, i.e. it's the Gnome default.
