Correct. In the statistics they are called 'prompted breaks' and
'naturual breaks'.

The 5 seconds can be configured, but not using the preferences GUI. You
have to use regedit (on windows), gconf-editor (on gnome), or edit the
config.xml in ~/.workrave:

regedit:
CURRENT_USER/Software/Workrave/monitor/idle

gconf-editor:
apps/workrave/monitor/idle

xml:
<workrave>
  <monitor activity="1000" idle="5000" noise="9000"/>
                           ^^^^^^^^^^^
</workrave>

Note that this is not supported :-)

The idle threshold is a global setting. It cannot be set per break.

Groetjes,
