Okay, that makes sense. Maybe you can answer another question: one 
setting in the preferences does not make sense to me: "Start natural 
restbreak when screen is locked". What consequences does checking or 
unchecking this option have?

When the screen is locked, the mouse and keyboard are not used. So 
Workrave will count this as a natural micro-break if the duration of the 
screen lock exceeds 30 seconds (my micro-break duration) or as a natural 
rest break if it exceeds 5 minutes (my rest break duration). So what is 
that option for?
