When I installed gnome3 for the first time my window manager was metacity.
I have to reinstall gnome3, and after that my window manager is now gnome-shell.
If I try metacity --replace & I lose the gnome dock, top bar...
All questions I read about how to change a window manager concluded to [window-manager] --replace, and it's not working for me.
So how can I change a window manager?

The shortest way to get Metacity running is to install
GNOME FlashBack (Metacity) session with
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
After installation select GNOME FlashBack (Metacity) on login screen.
