You said you had Adium? Well here's my theory:
Well Adium can use Growl, the advanced messaging system to notify you
of certain events, so I think that this system dialog thingy comes
up as a result of Growl sending a message, probably to inform you
that someone has logged on or off or somesuch. You can use VO+F1 twice
to get at this system dialog, but if my theory is right, you will not
be able to read it. There's a workaround though: Go into System
preferences and interact with the scroll area there. Find the button
that says "growl" and press it.
Now you're in the settings dialog for Growl. This consists of five, i
think, tabs. Find the one that says "display styles" or something and
select it.
Change the display style to Speech and all should be fine because
rather than putting up an unreadable text window, Growl will use the
system voice or another voice you prefer to announce events that take
place on your system.
Hope this helps.

OK, this is really bazaar. In voiceover, running on my Leopard box,
all I got runnin is voiceover, the finder, obviously, Skype 2.7,
ITunes 8.0.1, and the most recent build of Adium. Sorry, don't
remember the version or build. It's the most recent though, that! I
do! know.
in Adium, I have set up an msn account, an AIM account, and a Yahoo
messenger account.
Every now and then, I hear Voiceover say: System has new: System
dialog.
This happens when all apps are hidden to my Dock and I am focused in
the Finder on my Desktop. I don't mean a finder folder window. I
mean literally the physical desktop.
It just says this totally! at very very random ocasions. If I
command tab, nothing has come up on the screen more than what I
already got running. I also hit vo+F2 twice in each application to
be sure nothing's come up that I am not aware of.
I'm totally perplexed. If anyone has any clue, then yeah... I'd be
real interested in your theory. It's not really a problem at all,
as much as just kind a weird.
Chris.
