Unfortunately it appears that startx runs Xsession which runs 
/etc/alternatives/x-session-manager which is a symlink to 
/usr/bin/gnome-session.
So /usr/lib/gnome-flashback/gnome-flashback-metacity is not executed at 
all in this case.

With x2go it was enough (note the quotes I added).
Having ":GNOME" instead of ":Unity" there made the menu fonts lighter, I 
don't know if it also changed something else.
