This is what i do, similar to what Dave Courtney does, but this way you
can use alternate configurations for each display:

export DISPLAY=:0.1
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$HOME/.config$DISPLAY"
openbox&

export DISPLAY=:0.0
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$HOME/.config"
openbox

If i want something to be consistent between the desktops (such as the
menu) I just link it.
