oh this is easy... file a bug with opera. seriously it's an opera bug. why? they
do NOT handle virtual roots. it's not HARD to do. you just have to NOT assume
that all application windows have frame windows that are children of the root
window - they may be children of a VIRTUAL root. i have seen this code before -
hell xprop and xwininfo in the core x code suffer from this. opera needs to
PROPERLY walk the window tree to find the target app window. (ie start at root
and keep working down the tree with window geometries until the window is
found). this is the CORRECT and GENERIC solution that will work for all virtual
root wm's, all non virtual root wm's and any form of swallowed or embedded app
windows. :)
if you are an opera user they will (hopefully) pay attention as you are a
customer.

e16 used to set common "virtual root" properties on its vroots - but this isn't
necessary to solve the problem properly. see above. :)
