There doesn't seem to be any window manager setting there.
"gsettings list-recursively"
Seems to dump everything and I find nothing grepping for metacity,
compiz or the usual suspects.

Looks like not.

On Debian there is
/usr/share/xsessions/gnome-fallback.desktop
that provides "Classic GNOME". It exec's gnome-session-fallback but
that doesn't like the "--session" argument added.
Looking at the xsession and gnome-session/sessions/ for plain gnome I
don't see what should be added. I'm guessing this line from
gnome.session is relevant:
RequiredComponents=gnome-shell;gnome-settings-daemon;
I tried replacing "gnome-shell" with "sawfish" but then the option is
no longer presented in GDM3's login screen.
This kind of stuff is reaching MicroSoft levels of lockout.
