Maybe xdm has started an Xserver on display :0, but xdm itself does _not_
run on display 0 (which means infact only that it's listening on port 6000)

-screen is _not_ the display! If you want to run the Xserver on display 1,
you have to start it with Xwin :1 -screen 0 ...

Giving another number for -screen will only adjust the screen number eg.
:0.1 With this scheme you can connect to Xservers which support multiple 
screens (dual-head or terminal servers)
