I've tried it for a couple of days and it's not really what I want.
It's annoying to sit down at my computer after running an errand and
have a break come up 2 minutes later. I'm going to try changing the
monitor/idle setting. Do you know what things will break if I set it
to more than 30 secs? Anything I might be able to fix?
