Apple Cinema sleep bug?
I noticed it while ago (in september to be precise), but was hoping it some temporary thing. But later I reinstalled system and bug persist, so...
When Cinema monitor go into sleep mode it seems to turns off it's USB and FireWire hub too. If I have keyboard and mouse plugged into it, MacOS lose them and wake monitor up (sometimes even with message Device Removal). I never had any problems with it with earlier versions of Tiger (and previously with Panther), everything worked as it supposed to. Now I have to plug keyboard/mouse directly to computer which is no big deal, but what the hell? I can't leave iPod charging because of this too. And this makes monitor hub pretty much useless. Monitor go sleep - all external devices go off.

Looks like these power adapters have common bad genes with AirPort Express. Lots of people have similar problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread....69585&tstart=0
So if you notice your Apple Cinema Monitor (aluminum one) acting weird that might mean you'll need a new power adapter.
