Can't get workrave window to display under Ubuntu Gnome

Alright, so I happened upon the solution by playing around with the tweak tool. Basically you have to find the applet icon by turning on some non-default settings.

  1. Open Tweak Tool
  2. Go to Extension
  3. Turn on the Window list extension

Now there should be a tool bar at the bottom of the screen that displays all active apps. In the bottom right corner there should be a circle with a number in it , click on it and you should see the workrave applet icon (workrave needs to already be running).

After I set up my workrave preferences I just turned off window list.
