Yes, apparently plug-ins need motif.  I fixed that by 
adding two libraries:  libXt and libXm (Slackware 4.0).
Then did ldconfig to link the libraries.  Everything 
is working now.

Same here.  It didn't seem to be connecting with the wm
(which provides those buttons).  The problem disappeared 
when I ran Opera like this:
-----------------------
opera -geometry 800x600
-----------------------
That fixed it permanently.  Now opera always appears
in a proper window (even when I start it without the 
-geometry parameter).  

I'm pleased with the speed of this opera on my old P-166.
It definitely performs better on old hardware than Firefox.

Cheers,
Steven
