Thanks for writing it then ;-) However, I still don't know how to

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).
Another option if you start X yourself is to just check the output on
the VTY you started it on. For example, I typically start X on VTY 1,
so when I need to see what awesome has outputted I cat /dev/vcs1
