I think you're looking at it and thinking about it so hard that you're seeing the answer you want to see. I think the only reason Gimli was in the chair smoking was because the Director thought it would be amusing and light-hearted. I doubt he put a lot of thought into it, other than "Don't sit in the throne."

It'd be different if the steward had no son & no one knew who the next one would be, but maybe PJ thought it'd be funny to have Gimli sitting in the Steward's chair
Ah, you see, I had given that idea some thought (especially since the 'funny' moments that PJ has inserted don't usually have a lot of thought behind them), but then I thought: But that's such a boring conclusion...not to mention it would kill the conversation revolving around this topic. Well, as long as I don't have to stretch for ideas, I'll support something better for theorizing about. Or at least it went something like that. Besides, if we would have concluded that PJ just wanted to make the scene funny, we would've missed Fordim's post (a quite good one), & that wouldn't have been good at all.
