No, that is what I said erlier, it is up to your window manager placement 
routine to fix stuff like this.  icewm is not so good here, but trying to fix 
shortcomings of window managers in Emacs is no use.
You can file a bug to icewm about this.

Closing this.

ADMIT that
$ emacs -Q -eval '(progn(tool-bar-mode 0)(menu-bar-mode 0))'
1. Still momentarily wastefully shows at least the menu-bar before cleaning it
off the screen, even if the user does those commands in his .emacs file.
2. But more importantly, gives the user a window shorter than he wants.
No compensation is made here under X windows to lengthen back the emacs
window back to the size it was before removing those items.
(Note I had no xrdb emacs items set.) To workaround I must do:
(setq default-frame-alist (cons (cons 'height (+(frame-height)4)) default-frame-alist))
(No, fullhight, fullboth,(which by the way is not documented) don't let
one still see the ICEWM toolbar.)
