I had already installed the gnustep-gui-devel package but apparently that does not suffice to run GnuStep apps.  After installing gnustep-examples the problem went away.  The examples themselves aren't needed, but they have prerequisites that apparently supply the missing runtime components.  The whole thing is very mysterious, I must say; it would be nice if the diagnostics were clearer, but I'm so lost that I don't know what they should say.

I don't have Fedora 21 installed, but on 20 you had to install gnustep-back separately.
At one time there was two backends you could choose from, but 20 only seems to have one.

Right.
