I have a AluPB 15" that I carry between home and lab. In the lab I
have it connected to ethernet, an external keyboard, mouse, and

the machine like a normal laptop, no external peripherals, using the
wireless network.
This may sound stupid, but in what order do you put your laptop to
sleep and unplug peripherals at work? I don't run my laptop with the
lid closed, but on the rare occasion when I've had an external monitor
plugged in, put the laptop to sleep by shutting the lid, then
disconnecting the external monitor, things have screwed up rather
intensely with respects to the window manager.
Try, at the end of your work day and if you don't already do it this
way, open the laptop, disconnect the peripherals, then shut the
laptop. See if it comes back to life properly after that.
It could be something like this. I think my habits changed at some
point. I used to unplug the power, wait for the machine to sleep, then
unplug everything else, but I found that my laptop would wake up in my
backpack because of the USB devices disconnecting. Then, as often as
not, the machine would stay on and fry itself in my padded backpack.
So I started unplugging everything but the power, waiting for the
machine to sleep, then unplugging the power. Unfortunately it's not
predictable enough for me to test one procedure vs. another...
BTW, I found another person who had the same problem and posted about
it to this list:
