Only close button shows up in Google Chrome in GNOME Shell

After I installed the GNOME shell in Ubuntu, I decided that I didn't like having the "Close/Minimize/Maximize" buttons on the right, so I switched them over to the left using

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "close, minimize, maximize:"

After resetting the shell, however, I found that with the GTK+ theme, only the close button shows up. Using system title bar and borders will make all the buttons appear, but I really want to use the theme because the system title bar makes the top bar too thick.

Logging out and back in didn't fix it, and I tried reinstalling Chrome, but the problem persists.

Okay, I've found a workaround involving the use of Ubuntu-Tweak. Using Window Manager Settings, check Custom under Window Titlebar Button Layout. Then simply moving one of the elements to a different location and then moving it back again will cause all the buttons to appear correctly.
