Workrave is too memory hungry for such a simple app.

Its also way too complicated. All you need is something which pops up every 20 mins to remind you to take a break.

Dont waste your time with this - try Eyedefender which is 20 times smaller and is simple to use.

I tried Workrave and it was alright but took up a lot of space in the systray and felt clunky, sort of stressed me. You might be able to change some of this with different settings but I still couldn't imagine using it all day.
RSIBreak is a wonderful alternative. Streamline, with only one icon in the systray that shows the countdown/intervals as a pie chart . Lets you choose how to be alerted, whether it notices when you go idle, adjustment for tiny breaks and long breaks, temporary suspend, usage statistics. Has it all right in your tray but not at all clunky or complicated way.
It is a KDE app but it is working wonderfully in Ubuntu and can be found in the repository.
