The default time settings (work/micro break/pause) are a kind-of RSI recovery 
scheme where most people are likely to use it for RSI prevention. Workpace asks 
some questions to determine a profile. I spoke with Kees-Jan Dijkzeul (my 
collegue) about this. Please consider copying this behavior.

I don't feel very comfortable with implementing an exact copy of the Workpace
wizard. I am not sure how Workpace functions, but for Workrave, I imagine using
some question rating system that you find in some cheap magazins, you know, like
"Do you and your partner fit together?". Each answers adds a up to your total
rating, and your total rating determines the break settings.

Ideas, anyone?

Question remains: what questions to ask, and what settings to use?

What did I see:
time for microbreak; stopped typing/moving. after 10 seconds (my microbreak 
time), I got a new "time for a microbreak?" window, which counted for 30 
seconds, followed by a horn (as if I ignored the break). 
I expectected: 
to see the window go away after 10 secs.
Possible cause: microbreak time = 10 seconds

Adriaan, could you please file the above comment in a new bug? Each issue should
have its own bugzilla ID, otherwise they may get overlooked...

Oh, well. I recommend keeping this as simple as possible. Possible questions:

Are you currently suffering from RSI, or merely interested in prevention?
 - prevention -> Raymonds timer settings
 - currently suffering -> my timer settings

How strict do you want breaks to be enforced?
 - Scale (loosely) 1...5 (strict)

Maybe some questions about ui
 - do you want sound / do you have a soundcard / do you want a panel / do you  
want a status window

Maybe some questions about network usage
