I am afraid to state the obvious after so many replies in this thread,
but apparently your window manager isn't running. I would open a
terminal and try running metacity from there. If it crashes for some
reason, you at least have a change to spot a helpful error message in
the terminal. BTW, did you take a look at ~/.xsession-errors?
