Probably neither.  It depends on how fvwm is started in your
system and how you start the second X server.  Since you are using
gnome, the fvwm on the first X Server is probably started via gdm
(the gnome display manager).  If you started the second X Server
with "xinit" or "startx", you should put the line starting fvwm in
your $HOME/.xinitrc.  Personally, I have a menu entry that starts
the second X server with

  exec xinit /bin/sleep 100000 -- :1

and another entry that invokes fvwm on it

  fvwm2 -d :1 $HOME/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc

If you still have trouble with this, please provide more details
on how you start your X servers and fvwm.
