s-c-d requires metacity because it requires a window manager for the
case where it launches its own X server, and metacity is the standard
gtk window manager.  Likewise, firstboot modules may create their own X
windows, and you need a window manager around to get the focus right.

We could depend on gnome-wm instead, but that isn't likely to make
anyone happier than just requiring metacity.  Or we could require miniwm
from anaconda, which isn't actually a terrible idea, but you'd have to
change the anaconda packaging first because you probably don't want to
drag in all of anaconda at runtime.
