set gl_ext_multitexture "0" didn't work. I forgot to try gl_dynamic
before I left for work. I'll hopefully be able to give it a whirl
tonight.

Hmmm... I guess that's a possibility. I tried another experiment this
morning and the results kind of surprised me.
If I start X with "xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm" and then launch metacity
from the xterm, the server will crash. If, however, I start X with
"xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/metacity", the server starts up and runs fine.
I'm including the last 60 lines of /var/log/XFree86.0.log. You'll notice
that there's an unresolved symbol in libGLcore.a
