If gnome-session reuses the same session when run under another DISPLAY
(and this is what it seems to do) it will not work. FVWM saves -d argument
in gnome-session, this is needed for multihead and some other cases.
I suggest you to define one session for each DISPLAY and run gnome-session
with one or another session as argument depending on DISPLAY.
There will not be such problem if 2 different sessions are used, I think.
The benefit of this is also that you have 2 sets of applications that
are restored on different displays instead of one set. This is probably
what you want, otherwise you would not open another X.
