Feature Request: Mode > Suspend for X mins

I've been a longterm user for 4yrs now, great app (I was a Workpace user before Workrave).  I've been running 1.4.x but recently installed 1.8.5 and am I'm glad recent versions brought back the support for Winkey+TAB and Winkey+L support as that was critical to my work usage.

My only gripe is that you can only permenately suspend breaks but you can't temporarily suspend them.  Often somebody comes over to my desk (IT support, coworker, boss) and if I need to show them something or let them use my PC, they have no idea what the break popup is or how to deal with it.  In previous versions I would just quit Workrave but with the MODE I can suspend it but here lies a usability problem: I often forget it's suspended and don't turn Workrave back on (sometimes until the next day).  What I would like to see is an additional setting of "Suspend for X mins" which is a minute setting in the configuration (and displays the value in the UI), an ideal default for me would be 10 or 15 mins.

On another subject, what's wrong with Workrave's font rendering on XP + ClearType, I'm seeing lots of missing pixels, especially around the beginning and ending of text (screenshots attached) ?  I've seen this happen on multiple computers.
