Actually, the situation seems even worse in Oneiric.

1) Neither /usr/bin/gnome-wm nor the /desktop/gnome/session keys exist, so I can't figure out the intended way to set the window manager for gnome
2) Not only the "Ubuntu" sessions use metacity, but the special "Sawfish" session installed by sawfish _also_ starts metacity...

Title:
  2D GNOME session fails to use wm wrapper script

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-session-common

  The file /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/2d-gnome.session contains
  the line

    Required-windowmanager=metacity

  This should say

    Required-windowmanager=gnome-wm

  just like in classic-gnome.session, otherwise the users wm preference
  will not be respected.
