GDM logs things to “/var/log/messages”.  However, it may not be useful
in this case (do take a look, though).

You could also share some other details about your config.  For
instance, how is StumpWM started?  Do you have a “~/.xsession” script or
does StumpWM provide a “.desktop” file that GDM needs to find?
