I think (can't check) that fvwm ignores screen part of $DISPLAY, i.e. it
behaves as if you have DISPLAY=:0 and spawns 2 instances if needed.
To make it only manage :0.0, start fvwm as:
fvwm -s -d :0.0
I don't understand your setup fully, but if you do need 2 instances and
you do not trust fvwm to do the right thing, one of the ways would be:
fvwm -s -d :0.0 &
fvwm -s -d :0.1 &
xmessage "Close me to end X"
P.S. I only speak from what I see in the code and the man page,
I never actually had multi-head displays.
There is a complex logic of when/how fvwm spawns instances on multi-head
displays and how it sets $DISPLAY, but I think this logic is mostly ok.
Synchronizing 2 instances may be however problematic on Restart and Quit.
