Not certain what a couple of those are supposed to mean in context ... I don't think they plan on automatically changing your default browser for you, hence web shortcuts will continue to use your default browser. Opera has its own language setting, while it may (on first run) read KDE's setting to determine a default language I'm sure it'll ignore KDE's setting once it has a setting in its profile.
In Windows, Opera doesn't share bookmarks or passwords, I doubt if the Linux version would either.

there's no central bookmarks or passwords storage in windows, afaik.

Bookmarks - sure, but they're called Favorites. Way back in Windows 98 Microsoft put the IE Favorites into the Start menu - that's as central as you get. Of course, other browsers chose not to use the IE favorites as their bookmarks to avoid pollution - many software programs automatically added their website to Favorites. Much the same issue as all the other "crapware" in Windows these days ... under Windows you have so little control over "your" computer that you might as well be renting it.
Windows doesn't yet have centralized password management - even just for IE - you're right about that one.
(Strangely, Opera 6 for Linux could actually include your Windows favorites on a dual-boot system, any bookmark that you added to IE would automatically show up in Opera for Linux if you did this. For some reason, the Windows version of Opera 6 didn't have this feature ...)

you're right on that one.
however, passwords are essential. would love to see opera being a good linux citizen and line up with chromium on that one, which started to support kwallet.
bookmarks is a rather nice to have.
download manager shouldn't be that hard to support either, i'd guess.
kde (file) dialog is already utilised by opera, which is nice.
sorry for the late response. no list of "topics you're subscribed to" on the right anymore, so i missed quite a lot. not visiting the forums for the last couple of years might be another reason.
