Rather than thinking in terms of chord shapes, the best way to get something musical out of these tunings initially is to practice playing melodies (either single notes, or double/triple stops) against the open strings and letting it all ring together. You can get some really complex sounding chords with some super-easy fingerings.

Nothing like a good depressant to chase the blues away!

Just work at 3 strings at the time, try to find something that sounds good to your ear. If you find it, try adding another string, stop when it sounds full enough.

Oh, another cool modal tuning with a similar sort of feel/sound is CGCGCD (or CGCGCF if you prefer).
