VPN connection failure inhibits reopening Opera

Make sure you're using Opera with a VPN connection set to start automatically. Then quit Opera, unplug from the internet, restart Opera, and observe that the VPN indicator turns yellow (pending). Now terminate Opera. Leave the internet disconnected. Click on the Opera icon to restart. It never actually launches because the previous session never fully terminated. Unless you happen know how to kill all of Opera's processes without introducing data corruption or an inconsistent state, then you have no safe choice but to reboot the entire OS. This is a rather awkward workaround, so thanks in advance for looking into this.
