When a game controller is used, such as the Logitech Rumblepad II, Workrave does not detect this usage. Ideally it should be detected and seen as a mouse device. The problem with this issue is that people playing a game are not notified of the importance of taking breaks. I have seen my kid having red eyes because he played too long non-stop. He loves the Workrave sheep as he knows it's for his health, and we hope the sheep can help him during gaming as well :)

Reproduced with Workrave 1.9.0 preview under Vista.

Can someone with this pad try to reproduce on 1.9.0 final?
