The way I approach those problems totally depends on the project and the client.
When I have clients who I know are receptive to my advice and put trust in my experience, then I'll enter a dialog with them as to why their ideas aren't so hot. The goal being to reach some sort of compromise in which the design isn't totally sabotaged and both parties are satisfied with the final product.
When I have clients who don't put that kind of trust and respect in me (a situation I try to avoid but sometimes it's inventible) then I turn into a bit more of a yes-man.
Also, when there's not budget in the project to go back and forth over design nuances, then I just buckle-down with what the client wants and get it done.
I pick and choose my battles.
