Thanks for writing it then ;-) However, I still don't know how to write to stdout so I can debug my network widget. I tried variations of 'io.stdout:write' and 'print' but the messages never appear. What's the right syntax for this?

If you use a login manager those messages would be logged in it's log. Often their Xsession files are written so that whole *error* output goes to ~/.xsession-errors (or /tmp) and if you start X your self (or your login manager uses ~/.xinitrc) you can start awesome like this (as I do too):

exec /usr/bin/awesome 2> ~/.config/awesome/session-errors

...and then use io.stderr:write(err) to log to that file (or to ~/.xsession-errors like it's explained above).
