I know it's bad form to quote your own submission but in this case I'll make an exception as I finally appear to have automatic sleep working, which is pretty damm pleasing 
The one hassle I have on my desktop is the lack of automatic sleep through the Energy Save in the System Settings. It has never worked and I know many people seem to have had the same problem.
Many months ago, somebody stated they used PleaseSleep to make this work, it never worked for me so I gave up. I have just tried it again and it does work. I set the Energy Settings to one minute and after one minute the machine goes to sleep. Lights go off, fans stop working and my machine is asleep. There are no dvd's in the drive, no other hacks.
The sleepenabler is the one for 10.6.x from Google with voorflags set in /Extra/com.boot.apple.plist.
The last thing is that it will not awake from keyboard or mouse, I need to bend over and press the power switch. This I will live with.
Yours,
Rob.

It's a nice quiet quad core system that I don't really tinker with as I use it day in day out.
The only problem I've has is getting sleep to actually work, as far as I can see I have never got sleep to work in 10.6.2,10.6.3,10.6.4,10.6.5 and now 10.6.6.
I have tried numerous sleepenablers, DVD's in drive's, anything and everything, even going to the expense of building a new identical system just to try things out.
I have installed the latest 10.6.x sleepenabler, added the pmVersion=21 to com.boot.apple.plist and tried setting things in the System Preferences.
I set the monitor to two mins and the computer sleep to two mins and have ticked the four checkboxes underneath "Put the hard disks to sleep when possible", "Wake for Ethernet access", "Allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "start up automatically after a power failure".
After two mins of inactivity the screen goes blank and I need to waggle the mouse to get it to come back.
So how do I know the system hasn't gone to sleep in this time as well and it's got an instantaneous startup (which is possible). Should CPU fans spin down? should all the power lights on the box go off? Since the screen's gone I can't see anything happening there. Should there be console messages? I know this sounds a bit lame (and a dumb question), but any help would be great here.
Thanks,
Rob.
