Somehow it was stuck in my head that the two issues (dtterm and CDE) were one in the same, but that obviously is not the case. I definitely never checked the FC12 behavior with CDE in XDMCP mode (which I should have), only dtterm in multiwindow mode. So I'll give this a try as soon as I get home and have access to both FC12 and Solaris and let you know if I see the same behavior.
