With X in F21 there's no /var/log/Xorg*log any more so to get the X log:
journalctl -b -u gdm

(you probably already know this).

Nine times out of ten when I got that message while using the nvidia
proprietary driver it turned out to be something wrong with the 3D
acceleration failing due to the bundled libGL.so.* not being loaded by
ldconfig for one reason or another. So check:
journalctl -b | grep accel
journalctl -b /usr/bin/gnome-session

right after you get the error message.

I hope that helps.
