Just for information, it seems that I also use X11 mode without knowing
it. On my computer no kde package is installed and it appears that 1, 3
and 4 gives the same file selector. So I think I did not understand the
problem. In the save window, I see 2 boxes where I can modify things.
One at the top containing the current directory and which is not
editable it seems. And one at the bottom where I can do everything I
want (enter a path to change directory, a name to choose the name of the
file I save, copy paste with the mouse buttons (but not ctrl-c, ctrl-v),
...). Do you speak of the first box? Do you mean ctrl-c, ctrl-v instead
of mouse button 2? Or maybe I'm not using X11 file selector (I still
wonder wich one I use).
I think my version of opera-linux is the last one (from debian
repository, 11.61).
