This is more or less the source of serious pain to install it on multiuser environments. With TB right now it's very simple, just import a previously-prepared .reg file. With Opera, you not only have to prepare the configuration, but also copy it to various places, name the config file in a specified manner and then wait longer while all the .ini files are transferred from the networked profile. FYI transferring many smaller files takes much much more time, than one bigger file. I can see that while "recent documents", cookies, favorites and "temporary internet files" grow on my profiles! This is a terrible solution! They should all be stored in registry or in big, database-like files. Using all sorts of files for all sorts of small parts of configuration is an approach that makes everything more complicated and slower. Gosh, how life would be simpler, if Opera just stored it's settings in registry! It could even work on some of the configs I've seen. But is't not worth (in an economical POW) to work will all sorts of inis, cfgs, txts, xmls and other config files that all the authors in their ingenuity tend to develop instead of just using a built in, fast and working system of storing configuration.
