I ended up writing a 2-line .xinitrc file to solve this problem:

    xterm &
    exec metacity

This at least lets me temporarily "shell into X," as it were.

This works because I've got enough of X and GNOME installed that I can 
get the GUI up and run programs, but the GNOME desktop proper isn't yet 
completely functional.
