Just recently my FP iMac has decided not to sleep on it's own. It will 
sleep if I select that under the Apple menu, but if I walk away for 20 
minutes only the screen is dark and of course the fan is running. It is 
currently running X.2.6. I don't see anything that is specifically for 
energy saver, like in OS9, so I tried trashing the system preferences 
plist (the preferences preference?) but that didn't help. I logged in 
as a different user and it went to sleep correctly, so I believe that 
means it is specific to me (the main user, the others are for network 
access). Any other suggestions?
Yes, I've read the comments about "don't sleep your computer" and 
"that's the number-one cause of problems" but sleep actually does work 
for most people. This has just happened recently after over a year of 
use, and I also have three powerbooks at home that are always left to 
sleep.
