Workrave in Kubuntu is probably compiled with gsettings instead of gconf. Try:

gsettings set org.workrave.general operation-mode 1

and,

gsettings list-recursively org.workrave

Interfaces names have changed some while ago... Try:

dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.workrave.Workrave 
/org/workrave/Workrave/Core org.workrave.CoreInterface.SetOperationMode 
string:'normal'
