Managing remote Solaris 9 from FC3

I run FC3 on a Toshiba laptop, and just loaded a new laptop with FC3.
On both (both Toshiba), I can run X applications from Solaris 7 boxes
with no problem.    When I try to run X applications from Solaris 9
boxes, it fails.   The Solaris 9 apps I am attempting to run are Java
apps, Suns printmgr and the Solaris Management Console, smc.   Printmgr
opens 2 windows on the laptop (the number of windows and the shape are
correct)   Both windows show the window title, but the rest of the
windows is gray.   No text, just a gray window.   The laptop itself
slows to a crawl, in any window it takes 3-5 seconds for typed
characters to appear.   The only way to clear the problem is reboot.    

With the smc application laptop speed is not affected.   SMC opens a
window with only the title bar showing.   The window can be resized, but
again is a featureless gray.   It can be closed, where the printmgr
windows cannot.   Has anyone else seen this problem?  It did not occur
under FC2.
