This message comes from init. Look in /etc/inittab for the line that starts gdm in runlevel 5 (probably starts with 'x', what would you bet). Whatever command line is there is exiting quickly, probably due to an error. Run that command as root and you should see the error message, which will clue you in how to fix it.
