Ubuntu – How to add minimize / maximize buttons to GNOME shell windows

gnome-shellwindow-buttons

Just installed Ubuntu 12.04, then I did 

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

and windows have only a close button, how can I enable minimize / maximize? The old gconf-editor doesn't seem to work cause it has the three buttons in the config.
