"foo0" (or whatever name you choose) define a screen specific resource. Mwm*foo0*background: Mwm*foo1*background: To reference the screen specific resource when you startup mwm use a command line similar to the following: "mwm -screens foo0 foo1" to assign screen 0 with the resources specified with Mwm*foo0... This is all documented in the mwm manpage.
