The gnome-typing-monitor applet has a configurable option in
Preferences of "Allow postponing of breaks", which worked until
recently (don't know how recently, though), so that if this option was
checked, postponement was permitted, and unchecking the option would
prevent this. The option was configurable throughout a GNOME session:
switch it on, and breaks would be permitted, switch it off and they'd
be forbidden again. Now, however, it seems that whatever the saved
preference when the applet is started is used throughout the session,
regardless of any change made.

Seems to have fixed itself. Weird.
Anyhow, reclosing this one.
