FVWM: Running multiple fvwm's on multiple X servers

I am normally using my X server in 16 bit mode, but I have these odd
programs that only work on an 8-bit server. As an experiment, I started
a second X server (:1) in eight-bit mode. To get fvwm to start on the
second server, I had to put
        exec fvwm2 -d :1
in my .xinitrc. I then got a window manager running on each screen.
But they INTERFERE! They both start behaving eratically, not giving
focus to the windows (or even suddently closing them), and the key
bindings are messed up. Somehow, they seem to be sharing some data,
that then gets messed up.

Is there a correct way to do this?

BTW, I am running version 2.0.46.


Best regards,

Jakob
