This workaround does fix Maple 11 and it runs in f8 after re-entering the licence
code.

Note that Maple 11 was already installed in the previous F7 system and the files
preserved in an untouched partition that was symlinked back after the f8 install.

First I did 
cd path_to_maple11 

Then the files involved are:
$ find . -name libmawt.so
./jre.IBM_INTEL_LINUX/lib/i386/motif21/libmawt.so
./jre.IBM_INTEL_LINUX/lib/i386/headless/libmawt.so
./jre.IBM_INTEL_LINUX/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so

Then do 
sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' libmawt.so
on each of the three files in turn (and I saved the originals in a subdirectory
for safety first)

Then simply start the application and it now works.

However in Maple 9.5 I could not find any files with the name libmawt.so
So this fix could not be applied in this case. I will keep searching for
a solution for version 9.5
