Got an unexpected email about resetting my password.

I got an email asking me to reset my password, but I haven't forgotten it and it's working fine. This seems like it might be someone trying to do bad things. What would you like me to do about it?

Joe, thanks for the reply. I've sent you an email about the beta.
I figured it was something more complicated than just finding the right API, but I thought it couldn't hurt. And now I've bookmarked the sleep notification for when I need it :)

Hi, I'm seeing this on a Powerbook g4 with 10.5.2 and for now I'm working around it by bringing stickies to the front before I put the computer to sleep, so I can easily delete any spurious sleep-time.

My apologies if you've already seen this and it's not the issue, but Apple dev QA 1340 discusses getting sleep notifications from the system:

How to get frontmost X11 app on OS X

Different X windows (X11) apps all show up as just as 'X11' in RescueTime. It'd be nice if they were broken out per app.

Here's a way to get the name of the frontmost X11 app:
/usr/X11/bin/xprop -id `/usr/X11/bin/xprop -root |awk '/_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW/ {print $5; exit;}'` WM_CLASS

It'll print something like this:

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xterm", "XTerm"

or

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "emacs", "Emacs"

Of course, that'll only work if X11 is installed - for lots of users, /usr/X11 might not exist.
Hope this helps!
