Wait a minute - I guess I don't understand what you are saying.

If these are independent applications, they cannot share display lists.
Period.

If this is one application that opens 10 windows then they will share
display lists by default.   If that's not what you want then you have
a problem.  I don't think there is a way within GLUT to *not* share
display lists between the windows of a single application.
