question: how to have different xscreensaver on two displays

I have a system that has two X displays.  I want the second :1 display to use a different .xscreensaver file (because I want it configured differently than :0)

I tried creating a fake home folder in ~/x2/ with ~/x2/.xscreensaver in it.  man xscreensaver said it reads the HOME variable so I ran it with
HOME=~/x2 xscreensaver -display :1 -nosplash

But it still uses ~/.xscreensaver configuration.  Any ideas?  Thanks.
