Incompatibility with xrandr and BLOB theme manager

I've tested the BLOB theme manager on RC2 and found out that my 'xrandr -q' didn't show a line containing "primary" (eventhough I do have a dual monitor setup). Therefore I could save a theme once, but never restore it. My workaround is the following:

In /usr/bin/bl-obthemes change line 180:
   PRIMARY=$(xrandr -q | awk '/ connected/ {if ($3=="primary") print $4}')
to:
   PRIMARY=$(xrandr -q | awk '/ connected/ {print $3}')

Please verify whether you also have this problem...

This was my first BunsenLabs experience (after using CB for quite some time) and I love it so far...
Keep up the good work!

Thank you for reporting this.
Another solution would be to add an xrandr command to $HOME/.config/openbox/autostart using the --primary argument.

Rats, I thought I had dealt with that bug a while ago. Let me investigate where it went.... :8

EDIT: I think a better workaround, for people who do have "primary", is to have line #180 read

    PRIMARY=$(xrandr -q | awk '/ connected/ {if ($3=="primary") print $4;else print $3}')

Seems like a quite clean solution to me! :-)
