I have a dual-head setup. The main display is running at 1024x768 and the

If you have two separate X sessions running, you'll have to run two
separate window managers - one for each display.
Fluxbox was able to handle this without a problem. It simply started itself twice with the 
same configuration.

Yeah. You might check out x2x which was the standard solution in this
space until XINERAMA came along.

I have a dual-head setup. The main display is running at 1024x768 and the secondary is 
800x600. I'm not using the Xinerama extension, so I effectively have 2 separate X sessions 
running. I'm currently using fluxbox as my window manager. I want to try something new. I 
tried Openbox, but it doesn't initialize anything on my second display. What window 
managers are recommended that will handle my setup properly?
