 Yes I wanted to demonstrate starting the program without changing the
 preferences too, hence I tested two times.

 This is exactly what I did:
 - open xterm,
 - launch gnome-typing-monitor,
 - right click on its icon in the notification area,
 - select preferences,
 - click on "lock screen to force a pause",
   (note that at this point the program has "allow postponing a break"
   already selected since it's the setting I used last time)
 - type for some time,
 - I got the "make a break" screen locking, and postponed,
 - click on close,
 - type for some time,
 - I got the "make a break" screen locking, and postponed,
 - right click on its icon in the notification area,
 - select preferences,
 - removed that option to allow postponing breaks,
 - type for some time,
 - I got the "make a break" screen locking, and couldn't postpone.

 Could you try reproducing the above and tell me when you do not have
 the same results anymore?

   Bye,
