IPhoto 08 crashing on startup since Leopard installation. Help!!

Question

I had iPhoto 08 working with OS 10.4.11 just fine. Installed Leopard tonight -- ran all software updates. All looks good except iPhoto crashes on startup every time. It looks fine but the second I click anywhere one it (menu, event photo, bar to drag, etc.) it beachballs and crashes. I repaired permissions and when that did not work, I reinstalled iPhoto 08 and went through the software updates. That didn't work either.
Any ideas? Thanks!!

Might be a preferences issue. I would suggest you create a new, test, account on your system that mimics your own account (as far as permissions/rights are concerned). Try using iPhoto in that account -- do you see the same problem?
If not, then it might be that the preferences that were carried over from Tiger in your old account, or the file/directory permissions that were carried over, are giving iPhoto problems. At least, it will give us another piece of data with which to troubleshoot.
Also, you may want to look in your ~/Library/Logs/ folder for crash reports or other logs that may tell us what is actually causing the application to crash. If nothing is there, check your system.log (you can get to this via the Console application, for example) for clues.
