Can you exec metacity? How about straceing gnome-session to see what it
was doing?
Anyway, I'm actualy not clear on how gnome-session decides what wm to
start. There doesn't seem to be a control panel applet for it. Here is
my best guess:
Via the /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default gconf key.
You can run gconf-editor to edit the key or edit
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/%gconf.xml directly.
