| I think I've accidentally stumbled on a workaround for this crash on
| exit issue.
| 
| Once you've started opera and opened a page (any page), turn on print
| preview on and off (Menu->Print->Print preview). Once it's done, opera
| will exit cleanly. It beats me why print preview has anything to do
| with exiting opera, but in my case it certainly does.

Amazingly, that works for me, too -- thank you!

| Another option is to delete liboperagtk.so once opera has been
| installed. The downside is that file dialogs will be horrible. I
| personally stick with the print preview workaround.

Yeah, this workaround is quite tolerable -- in any case, the
crash-on-exit is only a mild puzzling annoyance and I have every
reason to believe that Opera folks will fix that soon (I, for one,
clicked "Send the report" on crash more than once).

| I think you are able to choose toolkit in opera:config. 
| 
| Was it -1 for plain X?

For me, with liboperagtk.so in place, "opera:config / Preferences
Editor"  shows (after playing with Print Preview) 0.

| Remedy for ugly file dialogs is skin with skinned ones.

| e.g. http://my.opera.com/community/customize/skins/info/?id=10071

This is an interesting link... I've never tried Opera skins... maybe I
should...

Thank you Artem and Jakub!
