Here's how I do it:

perry ~$ X :1 &
<wait for X to start>
perry ~$ export DISPLAY=:1
perry ~$ exec wmaker &

That will start an X server on :1 and start windowmaker on it.  You might 
have problems if you try to start the same Window Manager or Desktop 
Environment on different displays (I don't know if they like to lock files 
or anything), but you can have a LOT of them running.  I once ran... what, 
4 ? 5?   

HTH, 

Adam
