   I found WorkRave while looking for something else. I thought it
would be perfect. I installed it onto my Sony VAIO laptop, WinME,
192Mb. It seemed to install fine. It worked fine. I liked it. But i
told it to install itself when i started up the box. Then i could
never shut-down without hanging. Only if i Quit WorkRave could i
shut down normally. For me that was unacceptable since i want it to
be there working all the time and i don't want to have to remember
every time i shut down or have a really long reboot issue.   

   So i uninstalled it.

   Please let me know if this is un/helpful information and if you
want more/less.

   Thank you for trying.

Another (Dutch) user reports: "Ik heb workrave op verschillende systemen
(2000,xp,me) geinstalleerd, op de systemen waar windows me is geinstalleerd
krijg ik afsluitproblemen (het systeem blijft hangen op workrave) de monitor
gaat wel uit maar de voeding blijft draaien."

I have to get my hands on a Windows ME PC to examine this problem ... :(

A user confirmed that the problem has vanished in the latest development build.
Most likely, it was the harpoon issue that was causing the trouble.
