For information about the previous X session.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
If the bombing does not halt the X session and you can still use the GUI.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
should contain information regarding the possible logging of error messages.

Well, I kind of fixed the issue. I started up the Desktop-effects
"manager" from the command line. When I tried to enable the effects
there were some error messages printed out pointing to XLib Shape
extension, I did some googling on it and found the following command
as a solution that somebody found:
gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager' --type bool true
After running the command I was able to successfully start
Desktop-Effects. I hope this helps somebody.
