x11/gnome-shell is missing, not x11-wm/metacity.

x11-themes/gnome-themes-standard is also required (it installs GTK2 and GTK3
themes). To apply this GTK theme in Xfce session launch following command:

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -t string -s Adwaita

I think x11-themes/gnome-backgrounds must be installed, in order to avoid
warnings.

In my box test, gdm still fails, so better is to use SLiM.
