Just got this feedback from upstream author Rob Caelers, meaning this
bug is probably fixed now in upstream CVS:

I hope this bug is now fixed.... Pawel's analysis was very accurate.
Unfortunately, I didn't understand it at first....

I thought workrave didn't need the 'button released' event. Only button
presses are counted as activity. However, the fix for bug #7095 requires
button release events....Xrecord should deliver these events [so here
is an inconsistency with Pawel's comment that enabling xrecord didn't
help]. However, when xrecord is not available or fails, workrave falls
back to a dirty hack to monitor keyboard and mouse. This hack uses the
grabbutton (which only grab presses) which does not detect mouse
release events.....

It is very likely that this hack will be removed in a future version of
workrave (>= 1.7)

Everone, please download a nightly build of Jul 2nd or later
(http://workrave.org/download/snapshots/20040702/) and confirm that
this bug has been fixed.
