That is rather creative! I think that I will stick with workrave,
though, it does seem to be quite specialized for the purpose. Thanks!

And winging completely off topic I have always wondered something. Why
is it that KUbuntu-Users has such an active moderator whereas Ubuntu-Users
can't get rid of its resident trolls because there doesn't appear to be any
moderators?

Actually, I think that Myriam does a great, important job. I don't
mind the coffee and beer comments as they weren't on a _different_
topic and thus posed no threat of hijack. But that border is certainly
ill-defined and I understand Myriam's position.

As for the ubuntu list, it did take me years to finally killfile KL, I
cannot believe that he is still allowed to confuse and misled noobs
(myself included) as he does. It's the blind leading the blind with
him, often with bad consequences.

I would recommend Workrave. Althrough it's not GTK application but it
works good in KDE 4.x. It's great application for such tasks.

Tom

Thank you Tom, I am using workrave now. It is GTK (KDE is Qt), but it is great.

Chuckle about KL, he has been a procmail rule here for at least a year.
Works flawlessly...
