I don't remember if anyone asked this before -- what happens if you
run metacity from a terminal in X when you don't have a window
manager?

You *may* need to find the metacity binary and specify the full path,
but I doubt it:  If you get something like "command not found", then
you need to find the binary.  ('locate metacity | grep bin' should
help to find it).
