First of all, thanks for this wonderful free program! I have a very minor, trivial issue that has been bothering me for months and just for my peace of mind I'm reporting it here, hoping that it might be resolved.

I am using Windows Vista and as you will know, Workrave adds an icon into the system tray next to the clock. Since I am also using the Workrave toolbar in my task bar, next to the Vista logo on the left, I have no need for the tray icon: all the information I need can be read off of the toolbar.

Now, since I value a clean system tray I hide all the icons I don't need to see behind the small arrow. This means right-clicking the taskbar, selecting Customize Notification Icons and setting the Workrave icon to Hide. However, upon a reboot more often than not the icon reappears!

I have tracked this issue down to the tooltip the Workrave system tray icon has. Apparently, Vista identifies icons (at least in part) by their tooltip. Since Workrave has the time to the next breaks in the tooltip Vista doesn't recognise the icon as the Workrave one I previously hid (since the tooltips are different) and considers it a new one, which is treated as Hide when inactive. As a result, I keep hiding icons, knowing that my efforts will be futile. (To be more precise, the tooltip that is stored is the one present when closing the program. Upon a system restart the counters will have been reset and the tooltips will never match -- I was unable to exit the program immediately, having Vista store the starting values and finding a match when starting Workrave afresh.)

Understandably, the information the tooltip offers can be useful to many people. However, could you perhaps offer an option to set the tooltip to something static, e.g. just Workrave? Perhaps via a small flag that can be appended to the shortcut used to start the program, e.g. workrave.exe -statictooltip?

In any case, thanks for reading this report :)

This problem should be fixed in the next version (tested on Windows 7)

Excellent! I will be awaiting the new version eagerly :)
