Well, maybe I should have read the thread from the start. I don't know
if in the considered situation, trust is important. But if it is, since
only the X server has direct contact with X clients, only the X server
can provide the needed information (uid for instance). Hence patching
the X server can't be avoided. The WM can then use the information at
will.
