GDM logs things to =E2=80=9C/var/log/messages=E2=80=9D.  However, it may no=
t 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 =E2=80=9C~/.xsession=E2=80=
=9D script or
does StumpWM provide a =E2=80=9C.desktop=E2=80=9D file that GDM needs to fi=
nd?
