It seems that Workrave doesn't notice when I use my mouse wheel, i.e. buttons 4
and 5:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Mouse1"
        Driver  "mouse"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option "Protocol"    "MouseManPlusPS/2"
        Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"
        Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

I can turn the wheel whenever, and Workrave doesn't see this as activity.

Workrave prefers to use xrecord to monitor keyboard and mouse. If xrecord is not
available, it uses a fallback method. It seems that the fallback has a few lines
commented out that prevent Workrave from monitoring mouse buttons. Don't know
why....

The easiest fix is to enable xrecord by editting /etc/XF86Config-4:

Section "Module"
        ...
	Load	"record"
        ...
EndSection
