Problem solved!

Turns out that I had 'save session on logout' box checked. So when I
booted the 'first' time after the update in enforcing mode, metacity
died, and was not 'included' in the saved session state.

Each time thereafter when I booted in permissive mode, metacity was
just not started with the rest of my session.

I manually ran metacity in a terminal window; it start successfully. I
logged out (saving it in the session), and then logged in again.  Lo
and behold, metacity is not running (in permissive mode, of course).

A question: should it be more difficult to remove metacity from the session?
