[Workrave-user] Changing inactive behavior

[Daniel B. <db...@gm...>]

Hi,

Workrave is awesome and I really appreciate the work gone into creating 
it. I do have one problem- I want to pause the timers on inactivity, but 
they often reset while I'm reading a web page or something which doesn't 
involve typing or moving the mouse. I still have my hands at the 
keyboard so I still need to take a break and I'm missing them. I've seen 
some discussion of this issue [1] and would like to voice a me too.

Some possible solutions:
* Change the time workrave considers to be inactivity. On my install 
(1.9.1) it seems to wait about 7 seconds and then starts resetting the 
timers. I'd like to try that value at around 1 minute.
* Have the timers suspend when inactive like they do now, but not reset.
* Have a separate option in the prefs for resetting. This could be a 
binary switch or a configurable time. This lets people set things up the 
way they like at the cost of making the prefs more complicated.

I'd like to know if any of these would be a problem for anyone. I might 
whip up a patch.

Best,
Dan
