My first suggestion would be to check out Animoto. I love this site and I love the slideshows they make. It really takes something boring and brings it to life.
My second suggestion would be to use iMovie 09 instead. Once you create a project in the project properties you can choose to have a dissolves added whenever you add a photo. And if all the photos are in the right order you can drop them in right from iPhoto. djust the length to fit the music, and BOOYAH! Done! You may want to go in and check the Ken Burns effect to make sure that nobodies head is getting cut off.
But in FCP the easiest way is to apply the dissolve to one clip, then option + drag the dissolve onto the next one. It's not the easiest but it's better than going to the browser for every clip.
Or just use Vegas.
Just kidding...I'm bored and drinking beer during lunch, and just wanted to see what it's like here on "Kenneth's forum".
Just make sure to charge for photo montages...or it makes Rusty angry. Rusty hates photo montages...especially when they're "included" in a wedding video package.  I started charging for them...and haven't done one in years. Animoto looks cool though...if I were a full time wedding photog I'd be using Animoto and charging at least twice just for the montage than what the bride pays for a wedding video.
