The status window moves sometimes (in the z-order) to the back. I have set the preference to always keep the window on top, but sometimes it's gone. I have the rest break and the daily limit showing in the window. The micro break is hidden.
It is difficult to reproduce. I have been trying to find out when it happens for some months now, but still haven't found a way to reproduce it. It happend on different PC's, all with Windows XP.
I think it happens when a pop-up appears for a micro- or rest-break. Probably when you ignore the pop-up, the status window shifts in the z-order. But I'm not sure... :-(
Try using it for a few hours, and probably the status window will be gone.
Work arround: I correct the problem by minimizing all other windows and activate the status window by clicking on the title bar. Then the status window stays on top again... for a few hours...

A known problem. It can also happen during a break. For example when a popup appears informing you that a print job has finished. This popup is also a 'always on top' window. It seems that the last window wins and appears on top of the workrave break window (making it impossible to skip/postone..)

See bug #417.
