RSIBreak in kdereview

[Tom Albers]

Hello Core Developers,

As you are hard working to get KDE4 in shape, maybe you find it time for 
something completely different for a few minutes.

I just moved RSBreak to kdereview. I would like to request a move to 
extragear.

What is it?
It is an application which tries to interrupt you friendly when you are 
working behind the computer. This way you can take a break to do the dishes. 
The aim is to assist in preventing you getting Repetitive Strain Injury[1]. 
It is being developed by Bram Schoenmakers and me.

State.
We have released a couple of versions (0.7.0 is just out) and it is doing its 
job already for a few versions. All major distro's have packages[2], and 
there are no bugs[3].

EBN (ifup)
Everything is documented with apidox [4][5]. Krazy only has 1 false hit [6].
There is no user documentation for RSIBreak. As it only is used by experienced 
users, I dont think it is crucial. KDE 4 will contain some form of docs.

Usability
I'm working with Tina Trillitzsch on usability, the issues reported in her 
first - not complete - report [7] are all fixed.

Graphics
I'm working with Lee Olson on the icons for the settings and the general tray 
icon and logo. 0.7.0 contains a full set.

Startup
I tried callgrind and although i'm not sure howto interpret the results 
exactly, i tried to optimize startup speed (smoothscale seemed 'not so 
fast'). I would love it if someone invests time in this, but it is a small 
util, so it is already starting quickly.

I hope I covered all items needed for review and if you review it, I'm happy 
to make changes. I'm already very proud at RSIBreak and would be even more 
proud if it leaves the playground area.
