I have Opera working as 'user' and printing webpages in BL2.

In BL3 I startx (having given Xvesa and rxvt and ttyp* and ptyp* and 
/home/user and /dev/null correct permissions) and Opera will not load:

opera: Preference initialization failure.  Generic failure.

I copied /root/.opera/* (cp -a) to /home/user/.opera

/home/user/.opera/sessions, skin, toolbar keyboard mail menu and mouse are
drwx------
Should I chmod 777 all of them?   666 (rw not x)?

Do I need to install Opera again as user?

Steven, please explain how you set up Opera to work with user, and add 
this info to your Installing Opera instructions at the BL3 site so people 
can go line more securely (and eventually print formattted webpages if 
they add lpr and printcap and gs).

Abiword loads okay.

If I startx as root then neither program loads.  Opera cannot connect 
to X server and Abiword cannot open display (even after changing xset 
permissions, which only changes the error message).


I would like opera working in BL3 as user before Thursday (but maybe we 
can fix someone's XP by replacing a power supply capacitor instead of 
replacing XP with linux.  They have a midget power supply in a 
half-height case).
