I think (can't check) that fvwm ignores screen part of $DISPLAY, i.e. it behaves as if you have DISPLAY=:0 and spawns 2 instances if needed. To make it only manage :0.0, start fvwm as: fvwm -s -d :0.0 I don't understand your setup fully, but if you do need 2 instances and you do not trust fvwm to do the right thing, one of the ways would be: fvwm -s -d :0.0 & fvwm -s -d :0.1 & xmessage "Close me to end X" P.S. I only speak from what I see in the code and the man page, I never actually had multi-head displays. There is a complex logic of when/how fvwm spawns instances on multi-head displays and how it sets $DISPLAY, but I think this logic is mostly ok. Synchronizing 2 instances may be however problematic on Restart and Quit. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
