3) rsibreak is a tool that tells the user to make a break if he has been using the keyboard/mouse for a long time. Normally, if that happens and the user leaves the keyboard/mouse alone for 20 secs or the like, the message goes away and the user can continue working for some time.
4) frozen-bubble prevents rsibreak from correctly getting to know about the user's inactivity. Even if frozen-bubble is only showing a demo in the background, rsibreak thinks that the keyboard/mouse is in use all the time. This is bad because it makes it impossible to have rsibreak running during a frozen-bubble session longer than a certain time (10 minutes, at my place). I believe that, for some reason, frozen-bubble simulates user input to the system, which is the cause of this problem.
