You have to exec a wmii instance for each physical head. I'm not sure the Exec= entry in those Xsession files would support this. Thus, wether you uninstall gdm and start X with startx, or you write a small sh script which runs two wmii instances for both heads, which is called with the exec command in your session file. If you remove gdm, the lines should look as follows in $HOME/.xinitrc: #!/bin/sh DISPLAY=:0.0 wmii & DISPLAY=:0.1 wmii EOF Otherwise put these lines into a script which gets executed by gdm.
