It looks like you want 'twm -s -display 0:0'. From the manpage:
-s This option indicates that only the default screen
(as specified by -display or by the DISPLAY envi-
ronment variable) should be managed. By default,
twm will attempt to manage all screens on the dis-
play.

I looked in XClients and saw gnome-session getting called. I had seen some documentation on the web for gnome-session that said there was a "-display" parameter that I could pass the display number. I did not see this in the man page for "gnome-session" though. Is there a display number parameter so that I can just start gnome-session one ONE display? What about for "startkde"? If I can specify a display number for gnome-session or startkde, I would think I have to make it so the displays are ":0:0" and ":1:0", not 0:1 and 0:2, is that correct?
