Present-Window-with-correct-placement-of-close-button

The present windows effect shows the close button on the left, when the buttons on titlebar are moved to the left. The overview is not doing this, which is counter-intuitive. I use titlebar buttons on the left, so my muscle memory expects the close button to be on the left as well, especially that in present window effect it is.

I assume, that since it works well for Present Windows, it should be fairly easy to implement the same feature in the new Overview effect.

I added a screenshot of Present Windows with close button on the left (note the down, left window) and visible title bar buttons on the left. With the same settings, Overview shows a close button on the right, which is confusing.
