Try the following GConf key:

Key name: /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/current
Key owner: gnome
Short description: User window manager
Long description: Window manager to try first

Mind you, I don't know exactly how changing this key will interact with gnome-session's desire to restart Metacity, because I've never tried it.

Still, you have to admire how faithfully they've re-invented the Windows registry.
