I suspect that your removal of your saved configuration changed the timing or triggered a change in defaults so that the failure to start the gnome-settings-daemon does not cause metacity to fail. I could probably dig through the repo and find the exact issue, but, as I mentioned, a faster graphics card took care of the race so that the gnome-settings-daemon did get started. -- R.
