After the recent workrave 1.10.18-2 update, workrave no longer detects input (keyboard or mouse) in non-Gnome DEs.

DEs I tested where workrave doesn't work: i3, plasma, xfce, lxqt

For these DE's, workrave starts up fine, it simply doesn't detect any input. Workrave appears to work fine in Gnome.

I tried adjusting sensitivity with "gsettings set org.workrave.monitor sensitivity" to no avail.

Here is the upstream bug report:

Are you running Gnome on Wayland? If so, that would explain the difference.

The upstream ticket was probably a mistake. The difference in -2 was adding non-upstream patch.

No I tested it in Gnome on Xorg, and that worked fine.

The non-upstream patch has been accepted into the upstream git repo (though not yet in the released tarball). So I think it would still be relevant to them.

I have the same issue, workrave doesn't notice any keyboard or mouse input so the timers are not advancing. I'm not using Wayland, I'm using Xorg and AwesomeWM.

I'm experiencing the same on Cinnamon/Xorg.

I'm experiecing the same problem with i3 on Xorg.

It's supposed to be fixed: https://github.com/rcaelers/workrave/commit/5f8279ab08d6c3b74a5e974a26d57c765629376c

I tested the 1.10.20 release and it works for me.

For the package maintainer: when updating the PKGBUILD, don't forget to remove the patch in 1.10.18-2 as it has been incorporated upstream.

I've pushed it to repo, but removed gconf schema patch
