I am using the Ubuntu PPA version of 1.10 on Ubuntu 12.04. Every time I log in, Workrave appears as an indicator *and* as a status window. I cannot find a setting that stops the status window from appearing. Is it possible, or is this a bug?

(This could be a duplicate of http://issues.workrave.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1014 )

I use Workrave v1.10 compiled from the source code on Debian 7.

There is an option to not show the status window, but it is not saved, see bug 1014. If you quit Workrave and edit .gconf/apps/workrave/gui/main_window/%gconf.xml and set "enabled" to "false":.

<entry name="enabled" mtime="1388871934" type="bool" value="false"/>

Mainwindow still pops up. If you then also in preferences/user-interface/status window select all timers to be hidden and then quit and restart the program, you will have the status window to be hidden (most of the startups).

Found a duplicate.

@nipatrik - Thanks for the suggestion. On my system I have dconf not gconf, and unfortauntely changing the setting there doesn't fix the problem. (Noted this in linked issue, which appears to be a duplicate of this one.)
