After reading that thread, this is my opinion: fvwm should only honor requests
that a) specifically make the attempt to give the identity of the sender or
b) properly identify themselves as a pager/taskbar/etc. In these cases this
gives fvwm the chance to allow the user to manually override a particular
application if so desired.

Normal apps that don't try to identify themselves should have their messages
ignored (barring the few useful messages like the fullscreen thing).

For the users who actually want broken behavior for whatever reason (maybe that
user is a gaim developer who is trying to fix this bug ;) we can have a
"Option RespondToBrokenEWMHRequests" or something.
