Workrave supports two kinds of applets on Gnome:
- The notification area (system tray). Just add the notification area to
your applet. When workrave starts, it will immediately use it (if
enabled in the preferences)
- The workrave applet. Workrave always prefers this applet to the
notification area. The Workrave applet will automatically start the
Workrave application. If Workrave is not running, the applet always
shows a sheep.

Do you use the Workrave applet?

When you don't see the timer: Is workrave itself running? Do you see a
white sheep in the panel? What is the output of

'bonobo-activation-run-query _active | grep -i Workrave'

No. Just add the applet and it should work.

Groetjes,
