My understanding is that, since you're using XINERAMA, you only have
one screen, end of story.

In a non-XINERAMA world, you'd also specify the X display to request a
particular screen:
display -window root -display :0.0 foo.png
display -window root -display :0.1 bar.png
The hard part is actually coming up with a window manager that
understands multi-screen displays. fvwm2 and openbox both do; ISTR
having trouble using New And Improved Sawfish (TM). I also don't know
how desktop environments like KDE or GNOME would do.
