I've no idea how this could possibly work, but I'm putting it anyway as an idea.
When my Windows box is running a game, the last thing I want to happen is a
workrave box, since it switches me back to Explorer which makes some games
crash. I don't know if it's possible to detect the DirectX thing, but if it did
that would be good.

Or, I suppose you could do it by having a defined set of executables, and WR
won't block screen if one of those is running, so I could define game.exe as one
of those, and not worry about it.
