Any ideas what might be > causing this, or what I could do about it? I don't know what is causing Workrave to spontaneously switch. I had a problem where I would sometimes switch to suspended mode by hand and forget to switch back. I tried writing a script to automatically switch back after a certain amount of time, but I ran into problems. See earlier discussion on this mailing list if you are interested. On Linux, you can run a command like this to inspect the current mode: gconftool-2 --get /apps/workrave/gui/operation-mode I currently use this in a script that runs periodically and if the Workrave mode remains suspended for too long I start popping up warning windows. I don't know exactly how you would do it but I guess inspecting the registry might be useful to do something similar on Windows. You could at least use this to try to find out when the bug is happening, which could help in determining the cause of the bug. I hope this message is somehow helpful. -- Joe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
