Yes, I think you are close to Dick's problem. I suspect that his
buttons are in a panel plugin called 'Window Buttons.' Right click
anywhere in the panel and select 'Panel,' which should open a popup for
making changes to the panel. Select 'Add new items' and scroll down the
list of installed items. If you see 'Window Buttons' then my guess was
right.

To change the settings in the Window Buttons plugin just right click
anywhere in it (between the buttons, or at the end of it, not on an
actual button), and select Properties. (This can take some precise
mouse work.) In the popup look for 'sorting order,' among the other
options. There is a scroll down box and if you select 'none, allow drag
and drop' you will be able to drag them anywhere in the Window Buttons
plugin.
