OK, thanks to everyone.

I reinstalled from the main Debian disk #1 and 'sleep' now works, but
only from the Power Icon on the top panel.

I presume there is some gdm config that I need to do to get the various
options to show up when using the shutdown menus from the Desktop menu.

Anyway, it works now, even if I don't know why.

Cheers,
Alan
