I have the latest version of Ubuntu with all current updates installed on
a desktop.

I would like to use the Power Management feature found in System -->
Preferences --> Power Management applet. When I set to 20 minutes, the
monitor and computer go to sleep but fail to reawaken without a hard
boot.

What have I missed?

Uhm, Yeah, OK Troll boi.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acpi

"The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification, an
open industry standard first released in December 1996 (developed by HP,
Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba) "

Well lookie lookie....

Also see:

Criticism

* The complex and lengthy ACPI specification (over 600 pages long)
contains multiple components, including declarative tables, an
imperative bytecode, and specific hardware components. Concerns have
been repeatedly raised[3] that an implementation of ACPI has to run
complex, untrusted and potentially buggy bytecode with full
privileges, thus potentially making any system that implements ACPI
unstable and/or insecure.

[...]

Nah, MS would NEVER be behind something like that, Unstable and
Insecure.
