This does not work. I have the same duplicate problem (since I updated to mavericks).

Whether you use the Option/Command keys or not, you still get the same dialog box as described above. You do NOT get the alternate box in which you described.

For the record: I am using a 2009 20" imac (running 8GB instead of the stock 2GB) that has all the latest updates as they are offered. I have always been able to open iPhoto prior to this upgrade.
