Opera developers are making some serious errors in how they structure 
the thing. It is the only browser I know of capable of causing the X 
server to hang, repainting itself on every desktop, even after the 
process is dead. Just recently Opera locked up on some bad JScript (to 
which Opera seems always vulnerable) and I couldn't get it off the 
screen even after I logged out. I had to reboot.

If the thing fails, it should simply crash and disappear. Opera errors 
out very, very poorly. This has remained an issue since at least Opera 
5.0, and my bug reports to them mean nothing, because it still does the 
same thing. In fact, it locks up on the same sites, sites which are 
otherwise harmless to the likes of FF, Seamonkey, etc.
