Ok I am aware of these hacks, because i use it on my machine for sbl.
With one little difference:
I use inet socket communication to speech-dispatcher bound to localhost.
This way I can use my usersession speech-dispatcher for sbl but need one
small restart.
Unfortunately this must be fixed (for endusers).
I thought that you have found a clean way for solving this problem.
I hacked something in sbl to run it in a usersession together with Marco
Skambraks but we had serious problems with the braillesupport and the
keyboard daemon because it needs access to /dev/input/uinput and
/dev/input/eventX.
Many other things don't work as user and giving the user all needed
access woun't improove security :-(.

@trev I don't like your idea patching the login programm.
1. Not all systems are using the same login programm
2. What about boot messages?
After my sbl starts, I can read almost the whole boot mesagges when I
use the scroll feature.
This doesn't need the user to log in.
3. It would produce one more isolated application :-(.
BR.
