There is a bit of a log at ~/LibraryLogs/X11/org.macosforge.xquartz.log
man Xquartz gives this about logging which might help but I’ve never used that.
LOGGING
XQuartz stores a server log at ~/Library/Logs/X11.org.macos-
forge.xquartz.log which is analogous to /var/log/Xorg.#.log on systems
that use the XFree86 DDX such as Linux, BSD, and Solaris.
In addition to this server log, XQuartz sends messages to syslogd(8)
using asl(3). These logs are sent to the org.macosforge.xquartz facil-
ity, and you can watch these logs using the following syslog(1) com-
mand:
$ syslog -w -k Facility eq org.macosforge.xquartz
or you can include extra information such as the file, line, and func-
tion where the message originated:
$ syslog -w -F '$(Time) $(Sender) <$(Level)> $(File):$(Line) $(Func-
tion) :: $(Message)' -k Facility eq org.macosforge.xquartz
By default, XQaurtz sets an ASL mask which prevents it from logging
messages below the ASL_LEVEL_WARNING level (meaning almost all logging
is done strictly to the file referenced above). To force XQuartz to
send all log messages to syslogd(8), you can adjust this mask using the
following syslog(1) command:
$ syslog -c X11.bin -d
The stdout and stderr messages printed by any process launched by
XQuartz will be redirected to this syslog facility with a priority
level of ASL_LEVEL_INFO and ASL_LEVEL_NOTICE respectively. In order to
see these messages in syslog, you will need to adjust XQuartz's asl
mask as above but using -i or -n instead of -d.
