Whilst my machine is a laptop, I tend not to use stand by but DO use hibernate. However, I've seen the problem on this machine with extended periods (several days) of running *without* hibernating. M-x edit-itimers usually seems to give them a "kick". It's certainly not limited to display-time - I've seen the symptoms with other packages that use itimers. (In particular, one I wrote myself that goes off and reads a file every so often to update the modeline - for quite a while I thought it was down to my code, but it seems to happen in other places too.) -- This .signature left intentionally almost blank
