Workrave does not monitor all (gconf) configuration settings. Operation mode
is one of the settings that is not monitored. Will be fixed in the next version.

You can use DBus to control workrave. Versions 1.8.x:

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.workrave.Workrave
  /org/workrave/Workrave
  org.workrave.WorkraveInterface.SetOperationMode string:'quiet'

Version 1.9.0 and higher:

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.workrave.Workrave
/org/workrave/Workrave/Core
 org.workrave.CoreInterface.SetOperationMode string:'normal'

Groetjes,
