From either 1)  menu, or 2) Ctrl/Eject keys combo, my faithful iMac G3 usually shuts down, but not always, after it closes all open windows etc.

Doesn't appear to be linked to any particular windows or software.

Power light still glows, any suggestions ?

Check any log files in Console.app for clues, reset the PMU (if you have one, depends on the model), clear the PRAM.
