I'm not sure of the syntax of setting envvironment variable in ~/.xinitrc.

I tried ...
export DISPLAY=":0.0:
exec /usr/bin/openbox
export DISPLAY=":0.1:
exec /usr/bin/openbox
...
exec DISPLAY=":0.0: /usr/bin/openbox
exec DISPLAY=":0.1: /usr/bin/openbox
...
setenv DISPLAY=":0.0:
exec /usr/bin/openbox
setenv DISPLAY=":0.1:
exec /usr/bin/openbox
...
all with no luck.  It may work, but im not sure the syntax for
xinitrc.  the man (X, xinit, startx) don't seem to give me the correct
syntax
