It's /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources for me.

Ah, default value. ;)

$ grep -c reduced ~/.gconf/apps/metacity/general/*
0

$ gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources --type bool true

$ grep -c reduced ~/.gconf/apps/metacity/general/*
1

Sure, the Preferences in your main menu...

However, the Preferences capplets don't offer all possible keys. There
are a couple low level keys, generally not interesting to the user. You
can edit these keys (not offered by the Preferences) either with
'gconf-editor' (UI) or 'gconftool-2' (CLI). You can easily navigate the
entire preferences tree, inspect and change the values using the former.
The latter requires knowledge of the exact key name.
