My G4 desktop has been doing something similar since 10.3.4 but it eventually "unfreezes". I turn on the monitor to awaken it and the frozen desktop screen appears (I usually turn off the monitor when I sleep the computer) but typing a key does nothing. The timeframe varies a LOT. Sometimes the drive starts right up (or drives if I have the externals on). Sometimes I have to wait as long as a full minute for the computer to signal the drives to start up.... though that is rare... and then I ave my cursor back. OTOH, my apps start lickety-split now and Panther is much peppier so I am trying to be patient. I hope you get it resolved.
For as long as I can remember--- WAY pre- OS X--- sleep and energy saver issues have been rampant. I am sure there are technical reasons for that but I have no idea what they are.

In my case, running 10.2.6 on an iMac I get a kernal panic if I choose sleep from the apple menu but not if I let it go to sleep on time using the pref pane.

I see something slightly different, but consistent, on my iBook since upgrading. What I get is my airport and bluetooth both dying and not re-starting after a sleep.
To get my (Apple bluetooth) mouse working again, I find it quickest to try a "browse device" -- and yes, I know it's not a browsable device -- which suddenly gets it going. For Airport, I have to click on "turn Airport off"; then wait for about a minute; then "turn Airport on" -- which usually reconnects me to the house network, but sometimes it doesn't.
I wonder if it's a related problem?

I was getting the same problem on my 933 iBook, and the problem - like yours - became much more frequent after installing 10.3.4
What solved it for me was deleting an invisible file named .GlobalPreferences.plist
Since doing that the problem has disappeared altogether...!
The remedy was mentioned on MacFixit by someone who had a slightly different problem, but it worked for me.

10.3.4 does seem to have bollocksed the stability somewhat. I didn't have a single crash of any kind between getting the machine and upgrading to 10.3.4, but since then I've had at least four.
