Bug Description
Binary package hint: workrave
Workrave is a program to encourage you to take typing breaks. It's meant to monitor when you're typing or idle, a bit like xscreensaver might do.
This seems to be a new regression in Jaunty: workrave simply doesn't notice any keyboard or mouse input. The countdown stays at 5:00 even as I'm typing, and it doesn't show any mouse usage or keystrokes in the Statistics dialog. So for me, workrave is completely broken. I've checked that it is in Normal mode, and tried changing it in and out of that mode. My settings are attached.
Regular interaction with it's gtk dialogs works ok. It's just that it's not getting any RECORD events from the server.

I tried "gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/workrave" and that did not help. I also shut down workrave, deleted ~/.workrave and restarted it and that did not help either. There are no messages on its stdout/stderr.
