GNOME still has issues handling browser-related files (for example, even
after selecting Opera as the default browser, it keeps opening htm, html
and xml files in Firefox), so maybe this one is part of such issues
---with the disadvantage that in this particular case it's not possible
to just modify the "Open with" section for a file in Nautilus.

I tried both aMSN and emesene, to check for a similar behavior:  aMSN
doesn't depend on GNOME defaults, and therefore it works correctly when
the browser string is set to "opera $url".  emesene, on the other hand,
aims to integrate with GNOME, and as a result it behaves in a similar
way to Pidgin when trying to open Hotmail (i.e., uses Firefox, even if
the default browser is set to Opera).
