You may try

find /opt/Local/vers/maple11/ -name 'libmawt.so'

and then apply known "sed-fix" to every file with libmawt.so 
name.

This can be done automatically with the following command (use 
it only once):

find /opt/Local/vers/maple11/ -name 'libmawt.so' -print \
  | xargs -n1 sed -i.original 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g'

However, I would suggest yuo to make a backup before doing this:

tar czPf maple11.tar.gz /opt/Local/vers/maple11

This will help you to restore the Maple in case of failure 
without full reinstall. The latter may become impossible with X 
libraries that you have now since Maple uses java during 
installation process.
