Ok, Metacity is the window manager for gnome so just to clarify. You are specifically setting the session to gnome before logging on as this user and once you log on, even though it is the standard gnome-session metacity is not being loaded, but only for one specific user? If so could you please check if there is a .xsession file in that users home directory that might be modifying the standard gnome session? If it exists then what happens if you back it up and then remove it? If such a file does exist then can you attach it to the bug report, not to be confused with .xsession-errors which is potentially a HUGE file.
