I rarely used R with remote display, so it is not a concern for me.
But indeed, there is no support for Java in Opera under Linux. I am not
aware that the search engine (in R ?) need Java support. Hopefully
this support will be added in later version of Opera.

My point is that if one launches help.start(browser="foo"), it means
that one would like to use foo as browser, so default browser should
be set to foo.
