To save screen estate, you can configure the applet to show only two timers at 
a time, e.g. the micro-break on on left side, the restbreak and daily limit on 
the right side. If both timers are on 'show' they are both displayed 
alternatingly. If the daily limit is set to 'only when first due', Workrave 
will only show the restbreak timer unless the daily limit will occur before 
the next restbreak. In that case both timers are shown alternatingly.

Workrave should detect activity from tablet (I tested a Wacom tablet). Not 
sure about other input devices (joysticks ed)

Networking allows you to connect multiple workrave running on different 
computer. Connected Workraves will share their timer values. Advanced settings 
allow you to set the TCP/IP port used for running the Workrave server (in case 
some other program is using the same port) and the reconnect timeout and 
number of reconnect attempt. If a connection is between two Workrave clients 
is lost, Workrave will attempt to reconnect every few seconds (Reconnect 
interval) and a limited number of times (Reconnect attempt). I'm not sure why 
these are configurable at all... I will probably remove them the next version 
(only port number will stay)

Thanks for your effort. This reminds me that I forgot to reply to your email 
(lame excuse: forgot to tag your mail as 'to-do'). My apologies. If you want 
feedback on your document, please send me a copy or post a link on the mailing 
list. Thanks!
