I have a similar problem with FC3 and XFCE on my old Fujitsu Lifebook 634Tx. It does seem to sleep, and when I reopen, the display returns, but keyboard it gone, mouse is gone, and I can't ssh in b/c the pcmcia doesn't wake back up, so the nic is down too. I can't cnt-alt-bkspc either to kill X (b/c keyboard doesn't respond)... it's basically dead in the water. I have to remember to shutdown, or I have to force it off then turn back on. I figure I have a couple things going for me... old, old and old, but thought I'd share anyway. :)
