You should be able to use e.g.
fprintf (stderr, "Log this message\n");
,
g_message ("Log this message");
or
g_warning ("Log this warning");
If you run gnome-shell or mutter from GDM, the log entries will end up
in the journal. You can look in the journal with for example
journalctl -e $(which gnome-shell)
If you run mutter or gnome-shell manually from a tty, it's easiest to
run and reroute stdout and stderr directly to a file, e.g mutter >&
mutter.log.
If your added log entries doesn't show up even though you are sure the
functions where you added your log entries were called, then double
check that the libmutter you compiled yourself is the one used by the
executable when you run.
