Hm. Another silly idea. In tf I've had quite some trouble to get the 
numerical keyboard to work till I discovered 
"System/Preferences/Keyboard/Mouse Keys -> Allow to control the pointer 
using the keyboard". This is "on" by default, once I disabled it I had 
my keypad back. Probably some funny setting there? (These Desktop 
environments tend to ignore/overwrite system settings by some more or 
less sensible things <grmpf>.)

gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default 
--type=string `which wmaker`
gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/current 
--type=string `which wmaker`

Seriously:

Adding another account, clean of any settings and see if it works there 
might help to fiddle out if it's just a gnome setting conflicting. I'd 
guess that this is the case, however metacity is usually well behaving.

You could then use gconftool-2 to dump your setup, delete your gnome 
settings and then use something like the above two lines to reenable it 
step by step till you find the conflicting thing. Quite a work, however, 
but might be worth it. (Besides, it results in a gconf-setup-script 
reusable later on for creating a clean environment.)
