I also use xmaple.  xmaple execs "maple -x", which in turn execs
irisVxm, which forks and execs mapleV.

Here's the output of

$ strace -f -e trace=open,execve,uselib,fork,_exit -o ~/xmaple.log xmaple

(and immediately exiting once it's come up).

Could you run the same strace and compare it against mine?

BTW, here are my MD5 checksums of the two libraries in question:

$ md5sum /usr/X11R5/lib/libX11.so.3.1.0 /usr/X11R5/lib/libXt.so.3.1.0 
825a30b219c625a129c8c5f8cb31c6dc  /usr/X11R5/lib/libX11.so.3.1.0
af7caf6f1e84f06f4ec1c53f6ce1147e  /usr/X11R5/lib/libXt.so.3.1.0

If yours differ, this may be a clue.
