I too prefer the close button on the left side of the window, although I don't 
care for it to be the defaut. As long as it's easily configurable, I see no 
reason to change defaults. I have been annoyed by changing defaults in KDE in 
more than one occasion, and I'd prefer to spare others the same.

Even because I feel people don't generally prefer one way or another, as long 
as it remains consistent...

However, This objection has missed the mark completely, since all applications
use the same button layout, which is dictaded by KWin (or the window manager 
in use).
