"Author Mode" in Opera-speak means "looking (more or less) the way the
web-page designer meant it to look", for which "Page Style sheet" is one
of the default settings.  This is the mode to use if you want to see what 
the designer ("author") wanted.

"User Mode" means "looking the way I want all web pages to look no matter 
what the designer wanted", for which "Page Style sheet" is unselected by 
default - appropriately, I think.  This is the mode to use if you want to 
impose your own style-sheet (or no style-sheet at all) instead of the 
page designer's ideas.  Particularly useful if your eye-sight isn't up to 
making sense out of what some people think is 'good design'.

Shift-g toggles between "User Mode" and "Author Mode" - and if you have 
"Page style sheet" unselected in "User Mode" that gives you an easy way to 
over-ride some of the wierd and wacky "styles" that can make some pages 
almost useless.
