Yes, it would be nice if Workrave directly supported what you are
asking for.

I don't know if this helps, but here is what I did.

I ended up doing this separately, by writing a program that analyzed
~/.workrave/idlelog..log.  Anyway, I needed to make it reward-based
rather than relying on Workrave to block me.  See earlier messages on
this mailing list.

You might also try programmatically adjusting Workrave's settings via
cron jobs that run at specific times.  For an example of how to do
this, see this bug report:

  http://issues.workrave.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=770

I hope this message is helpful.
