I was just about to file a wishlist bug requesting that ctrl-alt-t be bound by default to start a terminal (as things like ChromeOS and Xandros are binding it that way so it's turning into a defacto standard) when I found that this is in fact already the case. It also appears that this particular bug has been fixed (from the metacity changelog):
