I don't use metacity because it won't let me set separate images for separate workspaces. I use Window Maker. In .Xclients, I have
export WINDOW_MANAGER=wmaker exec gnome-session
Since I installed gnome 2.8, I find that the gnome startup stalls for a long time after the spash screen starts and it shows 1 icon and says it is loading the window manager. Window Maker starts up and I can use its features and menus, but the gnome splash stays "stuck" there for about 60 seconds. Then the panel pops up and gnome works OK.
This is just a shot in the dark, but try running gnome-session with a --purge-delay parameter, such as
exec gnome-session --purge-delay 3000
I've monitored /var/log/messages when this is going on, and the only hint I see is this gconfd output. Do you know what it means?

I got these messages too, have no clue what they mean.
