Yes, it's GNOME 2.6.

Just looking at JDS on my Sun Ray here, it looks like you go to the  
Typing Break tab in Prefs>Desktop Prefs>Keyboard>Behavior, and check  
the "Lock screen to enforce typing break" box.

That adds a (rather bad) icon to the status notification area of the  
lower panel-- so make sure you actually have a status notification  
applet on the panel too, otherwise you won't see the icon.

Cheeri,
Calum.
