Logging to the equivalent of ~/.Xsession-errors is the right way to go because it puts the log traffic into the user's home directory.  It would be okay to use syslog or a log file in /var/log or such to log messages from the system compositor that pertain to things that happen outside of when a user is logged in.

syslog implementations let you redirect however you want the logs, for 
instance in a home directory or even .xsessions-errors :)
