Opera in xmonad -- style problem

I recently made the switch to xmonad and am loving it!

The only problem so far that's left me scratching my head is Opera's (lack of) styling with this WM.

Most of Opera uses its own default grey-ish theme without issue, but the toolbar is not styled by default. If I start Opera explicitly with the "-style ..." option, it appears fine. It also appears fine in KDEmod by default (i.e., without using the "-style ..." option).

I've tried several builds--always with the same problem:

9.63-1 (repos)
9.60_2436-1 (KDEmod)
10.00_4116-2 (AUR)

These should be shared builds with the exception of 9.63-1, AFAIK.

All my other KDE/Qt 4 apps are styled appropriately in xmonad.

Ideas? Is anyone else experiencing this?

Try adding this in your ~/.bashrc

alias 'opera'='opera -style'

Re: Opera in xmonad -- style problem

Yes, I've done that already.

I was more curious about why this is happening and whether anyone else is experiencing a similar problem with Opera + xmonad.
