What I have been doing on my 240MB (256MB minus 16MB for the graphics card)
laptop is to log in to a "Failsafe xterm" session and launch ubiquity from
there. This way to skip the gnome circus has always made it. You might prefer to
start the metacity& window manager before starting ubiquity.

Maybe this would be easy enough to add as an option to the gdm session selection?
