My iMac (late 2007) running 10.5.5 (and previously 10.5.4) seems not to
sleep unless I make it do so manually.

The Energy Saver setting doesn't seem to work, but on the other hand
display sleep does work. This suggests that something unexpected is
accessing the hard drive.

Is there a known bug regarding this? If not, is there anything I should
do to find out what is stopping sleep.

This sounds like something is running, so the computer doesn't appear
to be idle. In my case it's either a weather or clouds display program
(or maybe both), so I have the user who won't give them up just put her
computer to sleep manually. These are both menu bar items, they don't
show up in the dock. You may have something similar running...?

Another app that prevents sleeping is Sheepshaver, the PPC Mac emulator
that you need to use if you want to run classic Apps in Leopard.
