4RC for OSX is great i think, but one annoyance is that the 'close window' X-icon apparently has moved from the right-hand corner to the left-hand corner. As a right-handed person, my mouse pointer drifts over to the right-hand side of windows, so moving this icon from the right corner to the left corner doesn't make sense to me, as a right-handed person (~90% of the world are right-handed?). Is there a way to put the 'Close window' 'x' back in the right-hand corner where it always used to be (as far as I know...)?

Uh, the upper left hand corner is the default corner for windows controls in OS X. If you look at Mail, iCal, etc. etc., you'll see the "gumdrops" are always in the upper left corner (see uploaded image). Upper-right is where Windows places those things.
