When I start workrave and only use the keyboard, it works fine. But when I use
the mouse for more than a small amount, the timers start and don't stop anymore
even when I don't do anything.

I'm running MandrakeLinux 10.1 official, with the mouse connected to the USB
port. A second system (different hardware, also MandrakeLinux 10.1 official and
USB mouse) has the same problem. On exactly the same hardware workrave worked
fine with MandrakeLinux 10.0 official on both systems.

Additional information: The I've run the workrave executable used for
MandrakeLinux 10.0 and it works fine (apart from some missing icons, but I
should be able to solve that quite easy). The workrave executable is version
1.4.1. Version 1.6.1 has the problem both in KDE and Gnome.

This sounds like problem #384 (fixed in 1.6.2). Does the problem start after you
press a mouse button? If so, please check if the record extension is enabled in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

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

Adding Load "record" (to /etc/X11/XF86Config for Mandrake 10.1) did solve the
problem, thanks.

Problem #384 looks almost the same, except that I don't need to click a mouse
button. Just moving the mouse far enough is enough. When I move the mouse a very
short amount, Workrave doesn't start the timers. When I move the mouse just a
littlebit further, Workrave starts the timers and stops them after a few
seconds. But when I move my mouse some more (without clicking any button),
Workrave doesn't stop the timers anymore.

Unfortunately Mandrake delivered 1.6.1 instead of 1.6.2 (I don't know why). I
tried to compile the source but failed to install some libraries so far. So I
don't know whether the problem is fixed in 1.6.2.
