PB G4 Alum 15, 1GB RAM, Tiger 10.4.1
1) Why do I often have to enter my password TWICE when waking the computer? Sometimes, it seems to jam on sleeping, and even requires me to tap the power button?
2) I tried to install the Brushed 3.5 theme under Shapeshifter, but the theme won't take. Worked fine in Panther. I've been unable to find anything concerning back-compatibility. Does anyone have a brushed theme that runs under ShapeShifter?
Thanks!

1) Have a look in System Preferences -> Safety (Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver)
2)Is Shapeshifter Tiger aware? Version 2.1 seems to be according to their websitebut I read this:
Q: How can I switch themes? The "Apply Selected" button is grayed out!!
A: This is an interface issue that we'll address in the next version...sorry for the confusion in the interim.
To get to another theme, make sure that you press the radio button of that theme and not on the words. As soon as you do this, the "Apply Selected" button magically comes back to life and you're on your way.

It's not that I have to enter my password. I want that. It's that I enter it, the computer takes me to the desktop, then BAM! Screen goes black and asks me for the password AGAIN.
Are the screensaver and the sleep function both asking?

What if you disable this security thing I mentioned?

Let me try and I'll report back.
I solved the theme problem. I was not running the latest version of ShapeShifter. Idiot!

Well, turning off that option removed any need for passwords, obviously.
Thing is, I WANT the passwords, just not TWO of them in as many seconds.
Looks like it's the screensaver and the wake function stacking up. Any other ideas?
