You will probably not like my answer; I never get that problem on my Mac Mini. Even back when I first got my Mini and did not have a monitor connected, VO woldn't start automatically after I logged in but I got the same behavior every time I started my machine. One thing different with my settup from yours is I intentionally have my machine set to require a login each time. I also have VO enabled for the login screen. After I hooked up a cheap monitor,VO starts up properly every time and since I have Terminal set as one of the apps to be started at login time, I have consistent focus to the desktop. All that is fine here.
If your machine keeps doing this on a repeated basis, you ot to take it into the Apple store (if possible) and have a genius take a look at it; wonder if there is a hardware issue or something. I remember you asking this question some time ago but I didn't recall anyone answering it either.
