Thanks for your followup.

What would be the correct way to set up the .xsession file? I am trying the following:

exec /home/eric/bin/xmonad setenv DISPLAY=beryllium:0.1 exec /home/eric/bin/xmonad

but the second display isn't loading xmonad correctly.

It won't, no. The exec causes the shell to vanish (so the second xmonad isn't seen at all). Try something like /home/eric/bin/xmonad & setenv DISPLAY=beryllium:0.1 exec /home/eric/bin/xmonad Presuming that works OK, you might want to start both instances in the background and use wait (to wait for both) at the end of the script. Or some variant like that---I'm not sure what would be most convenient for someone running two window managers. [...]
