gdm and gnopernicus do not yet play well together.  The problem you
describe with text-to-speech not working is a known problem.  The
issues are documented in the following bug:

  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122459

I haven't yet had time to look into what is causing the problem.  It
could be something as simple as the gdm user not having proper
permissions to /dev/audio.
