Fedora 15: Add Back Window Buttons


UPDATED on May 9, 2020

Gnome 3 default behavior suppresses all window buttons but the Close. If you want them back:

> gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ":minimize,maximize,close"

or use: gnome-tweak-tool.

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.
