That's interesting, I've not had as many problems with VO in Leopard.

Although I very much like the improvements in Leopard, I find that
vo crashes much more easily for me in Leopard than it ever did in
tiger. I can be working along, minding my own business, and suddenly
lose the voice, yet clicking when I cmd-tab would indicate vo is not
actually gone. Pressing cmd-f5 gets no response. The only fix I've
found for this, other than a complete reboot, is to press ctrl-eject
as if I'm going to shutdown or restart. Since I have alerts set up
in sppech in system preferences, I usually do get a voice asking if
I want to shut down, though it isn't voiceover. At that point, if I
hit cmd-f5, voiceover is restored and I'm taken out of the shutdown
dialog. I then have to do vokeys-f1 to go into the application
chooser menu and arrow down to system dialogs so I can make sure I
turn off the shutdown dialog; it wouldn't go ahead and shut down but
I don't want it open. I have absolutely no idea why this works, and
I realize it's a slightly different problem than is being discussed,
but I thought it might help somebody.
