Re: alternative break prompting

Something like:

After 3 minutes(setup),  we go to the state "need a micro-pause".
After 5 seconds(setup) of inactivity in the state "need a micro-pause", we
have a micro-pause.
Any activity during the micro-pause, return us to the state "need a
micro-pause". Any buttons are no longer needed.

After 40 minutes(setup), we go to the state "need a break".
After 5 seconds(setup) of inactivity in the state "need a break", we have a
break.
Any activity during the break has no effect, except lock and postpone
buttons.
The postpone button has a drop-down list of time, and the skip button is no
longer needed.
