Opera 7.60 Preview 4 for Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD available
Espen Sand
Opera 7.60 Preview 4 for Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD is available for
download. As usual, discuss the new version in opera.linux, on the
opera-linux mailing list, and in the my.opera.com Opera for Linux
forum. Please do not distribute the download link directly, but link
to the post in opera.linux or in the my.opera.com Opera for Linux
forum.
When discussing this release, please start a new thread with a
descriptive subject so others can more easily follow the discussion.
Due to the experimental nature of this release, upgrading a previous
Opera installation is not recommended. If you'd like to test your mail
from a previous release with this preview, start Opera 7.60 Preview 4
with a different settings folder, as described here
http://my.opera.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23503
and then copy your entire mail folder from your old install to your
7.60 Preview 4 settings folder.
Download Preview 4:

I just grabbed this version, and now i have a strange requester pop-up
before opera actually starts.
The pop requester states:
Opera has detected KDE is running.
Some Opera keyboard shortcuts)like Ctrl+F8) may not work because KDE has
reserved them.
You may modify KDE shortcuts in the KDE Control Center.
Don't know how this can be, as I use WindowMaker. If this is generic
message, then this in not a good thing.

I got this message too when running XFCE4. I was also running Kate at the
moment, maybe that had something to do with it. (I turned the message off
so I cant tell anymore...)
KDE is installed, running SuSE 9.1

I am cheking properties on the root window to determine this. Can you give
me an output of xprop when clicking on the root/desktop window?

Yes I guess the testing can be improved.

Not internally. The shared version seems to interact better with KDE, and
also accesses your desktop settings (colors and fonts as set in KDE) and
can be set to use your KDE style also. But people using the shared version
with KDE 3.3 in particular report problems with international keyboard
setups (not being able to enter accented characters or non-European
languages).
One of the techs recently posted which version the different packages were
compiled against in opera.linux, if you're not current subscribed you
should look there (it was in a thread discussing the keyboard problem, but
there's a couple of those and I don't keep old messages so I can't say
which one). If I recall, he said the .5 package (the one you should
probably be using of the shared versions) was compiled against one of the
3.1 versions of Qt.

There are some specific problems if Qt is compiled with the
non-official "qtimmodule" patch. This makes "complex" input fail in
some cases, one of which is opera.

The Qt version isn't likely to be a problem, it's the gcc version that
you need to keep your eye on. As long as you have a Qt 3 that is
newer than the one compiled against, it should work.
