Thanks for getting back to me.
Pondering your reply, I've decided to make updates non-automatic. Just for the time being, I want to know what's going on. I've seen posts on the internet saying that opera is to be started with --disable-update, but for all I can tell it's not the main launcher executing the update (since if it was, it would only be going after I actually start Opera).
What I would like to happen is that Opera tells me when an Update is available and then allow me to install it (or not). Doesn't sound all that difficult to me?
While I'm at it - pretty good work overall so far

Eleusius.
