  Well, I tried everything Opera offers for download for Slackware and every one 
of the files (a tar.xv and a bz2) do not work correctly when I start Opera. I 
get the same problem again...Opera doesn't start and the zombie things just keep 
building up until I kill opera (system monitor shows Opera as 'running' but I 
don't 'see' the browser).

  Kind of a bummer, as I like to use Opera once in a while, just for a little 
difference and on some websites it seems to actually work a little better than 
Seamonkey.
