I recently had to switch to Metacity on unstable (yes, less flexibility, but
I suppose that's what I like about Metacitiy, it's simplicity), and managed
to do it by following these steps:
apt-get install metacity
update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
For some reason, I had to reboot after that. Simply logging out and back in
didn't do the trick, not even when I restarted XFree86 by using the well
known combination (Ctrl+Atl+Backspace). However, once I rebooted, GNOME was
running Metacity as the default window manager no problem.
