The problem here is that you are varying the screen number, not the 
display number. Multiple screens come from one server. Try using 
DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:1.0 for the second one.

It seems to work OK, at least if you don't try to use multi-window mode 
for both, even though several things hint that XWin code does not worry 
much about multiple servers.
