Or (more primitively) just run one xmonad and see if you can run the
other one from a terminal.

Hey, that kind of worked!
I started an xmonad in the xsession script.
Then did the following through a terminal.
setenv DISPLAY beryllium:0.1
/home/eric/bin/xmonad &

It indeed allows me to get an xmonad on the second screen.
Everything works fine with the exception of the mouse.
When I want to do anything on the other screen, I need to have the
mouse hover over the window that is considered the master pane (I
think I have the term correct, please bare with me as I am new to
xmonad).
So is there a way to gain focus of the other screen without having to
move over the master pane (just having to hover over any window on the
other screen)? I ask this because it becomes extremely easy for me to
forget which one is the master pane (especially if I move it to a
different workspace).

Thanks,
