time-out plugin for the Xfce panel xfce4-time-out-plugin is a plugin for the Xfce panel. It's a comfortable tool for taking a break from work every now and then. You can define a working interval and whenever time of this interval has passed your screen is locked for a configurable amount of time - which gives you enough time to grab a cup of coffee, smoke a cigarette, or even do something healthy like eating, exercising, cleaning up or whatever.
