Sorry, I just don't see how this is going to work.

Either the EWMH and/or the ICCCM conflict and one of them (EWMH?) is 
broken, or your window manager is.

A "legacy" mode (ignoring parts of ICCCM and/or EWMH) is unfortunatelly 
not possible since there is no way to identify applications that are not 
ICCCM/EWMH compliant.

One thing would really help if "twm" (as shipped by XF86) was audited
(and fixed) for compliance. I did some test some time ago when fixing 
these issues in icewm (it now behaves mostly like metacity) and there 
are basically as many behavior as there are window managers.
