No need to complain about the user interface because this seems to use static libraries and so many times it will not use same libraries that your window manager is using. I'm not surprised if Compiz has problems at the moment because it's quite experimental window manager. Of course support for Compiz will need to be fixed before release.
I have one special request for opera team: Please make sure that it's possible to use browser with (very) low resolutions. Just basically it means that you try to add scroll bars when windows doesn't fit to screen. It prevents some issues with window managers that force window to fit into the screen. It will need less knowledge to change settings too because I'll guess that many normal users don't know how to move window up out of screen area.
