Workrave does not seem to detect any activity inside of apps that are based on the .NET framework on Windows 7.

For example, I can work all day in Visual Studio 2010, and never get a break prompt.  So I also double checked some .net apps I have developed, and sure enough, when I display the workrave window and my .NET app side by side, I can type and move the mouse around like crazy, and the workrave countdown timer never moves.

It does count down when I use non-.net apps.

btw, .NET Framework version 4.0 is the version I currently have.

Also, come to think of it, I believe all the apps I checked were WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) apps.  I have not checked against Windows Forms apps.

This should be fixed in 1.10. If not please re-open.
