Could you post your environment variables?
btw. how do you login / start x? (eg login in the console and use
startx, or using any login manager like xdm, kdm, gdm, slim...)

Can someone give me a heads up on how to fix this, as the above

Most likely, it is trying to use /root/.opera for your profile and is
crashing early in the startup because the regular user can't write
there. I would save any bookmarks or other useful items and then
delete the folder. I haven't run into this in FreeBSD but you can get
similar problems in Windows if a global profile is created in
C:\Program Files\Opera by an administrator.
That's interesting. The problem is that there is no /root/.opera folder.
As a matter of fact there doesn't seem to be any folders at all that
refer to the linux-opera browser, in my /home/user directory, or
anywhere else. So I have no idea where the program is storing the
profile info.

I log in directly from the console using 'startx'. And I hate to sound
really ignorant, but I'm still pretty much a newbie and not sure where
the environment variables are found.
