Workrave requires elevation on Vista. 


1. This makes it impossible to run in a limited user account (LUA) where the user does not have the administrator password. 

2. It is a bad user experience to give consent to start Workrave. 

Workrave should be able to run in LUA.

Indeed. The next version will use a different way of monitoring user activity that does not require any special rights. You could try a nightly build available on our website. These build do not require elevation on Vista.

Thanks.
