Bug 1: "Set as default browser" banner cannot be dismissed

Description:
Opera GX shows the "Set as default browser" banner on every launch, even when it IS the system default browser. The banner reappears after every restart.

Verified with:

$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser
opera-gx.desktop

Tested workarounds (none work):

• Setting Opera GX as default via xdg-settings set default-web-browser opera-gx.desktop
• Creating opera-gx-stable.desktop and setting it as default
• Setting "check_default_browser":false in ~/.config/opera-gx/Default/Preferences (overwritten on launch)
• Dismissing with X button (reappears on restart)
• Installing qtpaths symlink in /usr/bin/

Possibly related log entry:

/usr/bin/xdg-mime: ligne 885: qtpaths: commande introuvable

Opera GX internally calls xdg-mime which requires qtpaths. On Arch Linux, qtpaths is installed at /usr/lib/qt6/bin/ but not in the default PATH. Even after adding a symlink in /usr/bin/, the banner persists.

Note: Opera Stable 129.0.5823.22 does NOT show this banner on the same system.
