You need to get Metacity back as your main WM, for starts - I'm not sure
if that GConf key is even supposed to work, I recall it always being
broken before... You can open up a terminal, and type in

  metacity --replace

Then save your session (either in the Control Center, or next time you
log out) and it should be your default WM from now on.  Unless you put
fvwm2 in your .xinitrc or something...
