Instead, set the maximum number of prompts.  Then disable postpones altogether
by clearing the "Show 'Postpone' and 'Skip' button" checkbox.  Now you can only
put off a break a set number of times.

P.S.  Dear maintainers:  Thanks very much for writing, maintaining, and

./configure didn't find the appropriate development headers package.  You have
X11, but you also need the headers to build Workrave.  On your PC, ./configure
looked for the headers, couldn't find them, and aborted.

I've never used Linux Mint but I suspect you need to install the package
"build-essential" plus all the packages listed on the Build-Depends line here[*].

If you ask on your distribution's users' mailing list, you will probably get
more reliable and accurate help with building Workrave on your distro.  This
mailing list is best for distro-independent things like Workrave preferences.
