Move Ubuntu desktop window control buttons to the right:

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"

Switch back to desktop window control buttons to the left:

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "close,minimize,maximize:"
