After using the Archive and Install option to install Leopard on my machine, I found that iMovie '08 would launch correctly. The menu items were available when launched, but no windows would display and no menu items would do anything. Removing the iMovie '08 preferences file did not solve the problem.
A search in the Apple Support Forums suggested there may be a problem with a custom Colorsync profile on my monitor. After clicking on the Colors tab of the Display prefernce pane, my screen immediately got brighter, as if a new Colorsync profile was applied. I clicked on one of the preset profiles and closed the preferences. iMovie '08 now worked as expected.
This suggests that not only may re-assigning your Colorsync profile fix iMovie, but if you had a custom profile for your monitor before, it may need to be recalibrated.
