Description Fabian Rost 2016-02-09 09:20:48 UTC 
I installed RSIBreak via `sudo apt-get install rsibreak` on Kubuntu 14.04.3 (Trusty). The RSIBreak version is 0.11. I use the Kubuntu Backports ppa, the KDE version is 4.14.13.
I configured RSIBreak to do the "Simple Gray Effect" during breaks. However, only a popup is shown during breaks. Also, "Show Plasma dashboard" and "Show slide show of images" does not work. Maybe important: I use two monitors.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wait for the break to occur (I set short breaks to 1 minute)

Actual Results:  
Pop up is shown that tells me to relax.

Expected Results:  
The screen should be grayed out.

The configuration dialog is a bit confusing, if you want the effect and not the popup go to settings, "during breaks" and uncheck the "use popup" checkbox.

Does that fix it for you?

Yes that fixes it. That's indeed confusing.
Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2016-02-09 14:16:19 UTC 
On 0.12 i improved a bit the wording of the configuration dialog and should be a bit less confusing.
