when I have either set for say 15 mins and then choose sleep, the monitor does go to sleep by not the computer.

From what I can tell, 10.3.4 is more sensitive to other apps that may be running on your computer when it comes to automatic sleep. Both my FP iMac and dual-USB iBook lost the ability to automatically sleep after I upgraded to 10.3.4. I finally tracked it down to MySQL, which was running on both machines. When I shutdown MySQL, my computer will automatically sleep according to my Energy Saver preferences. This was never a problem in the past. Over in the apple.com discussion forums, other users that are not running MySQL, but are having the same problem, have tracked it down to other apps.

Not sure if this is a bug or a "feature" ;-)

Maybe it's a feature. I personally have had automatic sleep disabled ever since I caught it interrupting a long-running process that I wanted to run unattended. Maybe I should try it again. Perhaps it will now stay awake if I'm running something.
