Did you follow the line saying:
"WARNING: If you have a ~/.xinitrc file on Leopard or SnowLeopard,
delete it and instead use the ~/.xinitrc.d directory as directed
below."?

Probably you're starting another window manager before trying to run
metacity. Use a script named like "directed below", i.e.
~/.xinitrc.d/90-gnome.sh

I'm not sure if dbus is started by user or system-wide, you should
check this point.

Pretty clear, it translates in 'Screen 0 already has a window manager'.
