d.zoom changes the region for the entire session, so you have to save the
region before opening a new monitor and then reload the saved region once
you switch back to the original monitor. The same applies to display
frames created with d.frame (nice for inlaid overviews).

d.mon x0
d.rast
d.zoom
g.region save=original
d.mon x1
d.rast
d.zoom
d.mon x0
g.region original


you might also play around with i.points/i.vpoints multi window zooming.

I seem to recall someone wrote an addon script for this, check the wiki
and mailing list archives.
