Description:
Opera corrupts display on startup.
The capture pic does not reflect fully the corruption as any mouse movement
seems to more or less restore screen underneath up to time of actual screen
capture.
The corruption applies to entire screen, that is, opera's window and XFCE
desktop panel.
Uninstalling opera, removing ~/.opera, and reinstalling it does not help.
See: attachment.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
community/opera 12.16.1860-2
* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
Install opera. Start it.
This task depends upon

Not sure how this could be specific to Opera. Have you tried any other maximized windows? How about a different DE/WM?

I tried opera with twm (no problem, but this is a very simple vm, without a panel ,etc) and lxde (the problem exists as in xfce).
In xfce I removed windows list and notification area (where opera icon appears) from its panel, but no change.
The problem must have started some 1-2 months ago.
Internet search shows few cases of problems in interaction between opera/qt and xfce/panel in the past, but no specific solutions offered.
It could be something in xfce, but then why lxde too (both depend on GTK) ?

No idea, but since it happens in more than one WM, this is going to the Opera maintainer to figure out.
