martin f krafft <ma**@de**.org> suggested the following via the Debian bug tracker: "I would really like to be able to run a command each time the (micro-)break starts, and when it ends."

You can already accomplish this with 1.8.4 using DBUS and some python glue code. I will attach some example python code. I'm interested in receiving python scripts I can put in Workrave's contrib directory (e.g. scripts to mute a music player during breaks or to tell pidgin a user is away). Note that DBUS support is experimental in 1.8.4 and configure disables it by default. I don't know if debian has enabled dbus support. Workrave 1.9.0 will expose much more control using DBUS.
