most wm's dont use virtual roots - so yes. you are correct. this is the case.
they are not illegal or not allowed - they are just not common -b ut they allow
you to do things that are a lot harder without a virtual root - and to do much
more seamlessly - example. scrolling windows is possible to do 100% syncronously
with a virtual root. otherwise its not possible. being able to hide and show all
windows at once and control a single desktop as a single entity is possible with
a virtual root - otherwise it is not.

it's just a matter of writing their code correctly to walk window trees
correctly. it may not be operas fault - it may also be qt... this i dont know...
but its definitely a matter of not walking window trees right.
