That's much nicer than having to recompile. I'm using workrave on Debian Woody. I didn't see monitor within the workrave section. I have distribution, gui, sound, timers. The ~/.workrave/config.xml file did not exist. I added it as per your example (minus the notation line) and changed the 5000 to 300000 (5 secs to 5 minutes). I exited workrave and restarted but am still getting 5 second idles. Are these functions only supported in 1.4.1? BTW, what do the activity and noise settings adjust? > Note that this is not supported :-) Well there goes the warranty, eh? ;-> > The idle threshold is a global setting. It cannot be set per break.
