Thanks, Jason! This is exactly it. Doing a: killall speech-dispatcher as root takes care of the issue. So, I simply need to add this second command after stopping gdm with systemctl. I see there are going to be some serious process updates to SpeakupModified.Org. Guess we'll simply target the forthcoming Fedora 19 with this, and a few other updates.
