Xfce4-time-out-plugin makes it possible to take periodical breaks from the computer at user-configurable intervals (specified in minutes and seconds). During breaks it suspends your screen (for a time period that is also configurable), preventing user input. It optionally allows you to postpone breaks for a certain time.

The idea is inherited from DrWright, a plugin originating with GNOME.

• whether to allow breaks to be postponed
• whether to display seconds in the panel

The plugin also offers a context menu which makes it possible to
