After the recent workrave 1.10.18 update, workrave no longer detects input (keyboard or mouse) in non-Gnome DEs. I am on arch using the workrave 1.10.18-2 package from Arch repositories.

DEs I tested where workrave doesn't work: i3, plasma, xfce, lxqt

For these DE's, workrave starts up fine, it simply doesn't detect any input. Workrave appears to work fine in Gnome.

I tried adjusting sensitivity with "gsettings set org.workrave.monitor sensitivity" to no avail.

Should be fixed in 1.10.20 (commit 5f8279ab08d6c3b74a5e974a26d57c765629376c)

Tested the new release and it works for me. Thank you for your prompt response and hard work on this package, I find it very helpful for my RSI.
