Opera works for me in BL3.5 after installing the libraries in my posted 
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/operalib.tgz (about 900K, the basic files 
from glibc 2.2.5 and a few in Steven's misc library package) and three 
libraries also used by icewm:  libXext libSm and libICE.  Are these 
already in Steven's icewm add-on for BL3?  With icewm, Opera changes focus 
to the most recent window so it is easier to use with the keyboard, but 
then you would lose the nice jwm menu.

If opera complains about no libz I will post it tomorrow.

libresolv.so.2 libnss_dns.so.2 ld-linux.so.2 and a newer ldconfig (make 
sure to run this after installing the libraries).  The resolv and dns 
libraries are only needed to go online and find things from DNS numbers.

I think Steven uses glibc 2.3.1 (Slackware 9.0) and the misc libraries 
from Slackware 4.0.  Either way works.  Just be sure all your X libraries 
are from Slackware 4 or his x-libs.

I packaged all the libraries in /lib but three of them should in theory 
go into /usr/bin:  libpthread libresolv libnss_dns.
