Looks about right. Here's a snippet of my .xscreensaver (why didn't I send
this before?). It has both screensavers that were requested. Note the '\n\'
on the ends of the lines:

You can add to this file by editting manually. If you forget the '\n\' on a
line, it will stop working.
You may need to set the splash on/off in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver. That's where it's locate on
mine, anyway.
