1. It only happens on a clean install of Opera, that is, on a system where 
Opera has never been installed before. It would be really nice to have a box 
pop up during installation that asks if you want to import favorites from 
other browsers.

2. Is there a reason for the transfers window to remain open after a 
download is completed? It's a small thing, but sometimes I'll do an hour of 
surfing the web, doing a few downloads, and then closing Opera and finding 
that transfers window still on my desktop! I'd like to see it either close 
after a download is complete, or at least when Opera is shut down.

3. One other thing: Is there a way to absolutely disable the dropdown list 
that appears when you enter something into the address bar? I don't use the 
address bar myself. I use F2 to enter an address, but I don't really need to 
see all those possible addresses. I have, I think, turned off every 
auto-complete that I can find.
