Package: workrave
Version: 1.8.3-1
Severity: important

The workrave timers are not updated when there is a program in fullscreen.
This is due to a bug in the configure script of the program.
This bug is already fixed in the application CVS, the package must only be rebuilt from the CVS source.

Below goes a copy of the email written by the application author to the application's mailing list.
Thanks,

I found a bug in our configure script that causes workrave not to use
the xrecord extension, even if it is available.

Did you compile workrave yourself? if so, After running configure, have
a look at config.h and make sure that it contains

#define HAVE_XRECORD

and not

#undef HAVE_XRECORD

before running make.

Groetjes,
 Rob
