adjusting Gconf key /apps/workrave/timers/daily_limit/auto_reset behaves bizarrely

I've recently switched to Workrave 1.9.4, having previously used 1.8.5
for a long time.

With the newer Workrave, I'm getting quite weird behavior when I
adjust the Gconf key /apps/workrave/timers/daily_limit/auto_reset.

For example, if I have been running for a long time with the value of
this key being 3600 (1 hour), and I then set it to 2, then Workrave
does not appear to notice.  The next time the keyboard/mouse is
considered idle for 2 seconds, the timer is not reset as it should be.

I've played some more with this and also have seen sometimes a
different strange behavior where setting this key to 2 and then to
3600 results in the timer resetting after 2 seconds of idleness,
despite Gconf reporting that the key's value is 3600.

I haven't yet worked out the precise pattern to the strangeness, but
it seems clear that there is some kind of bug.

Any suggestions?
