Fedora 15: Add Back Window Buttons

UPDATED
Gnome 3'default behavior suppresses all window buttons but the Close. If you want them back:
  1. Install gconf-editor: yum install gconf-editor
  2. Run it and go to desktop --> gnome --> shell --> windows
  3. Set the value to "menu:minimize:maximize:close"
  4. Type ALT-F2 then r and enter (reloads the Gnome shell) or you will see the modifications once you log out and then back in.
  5. You're done!
Credits.

value is ":minimize,maximize,close" instead of ":minimize:maximize:close"

Actually what worked for me was inserting the following string into button_layout's value field: "menu:minimize,maximize,close"

That's as you said but adding "menu" in front.
