yes,i see the tab for the pop-up.

The first image shows my normal setup, I clicked on the green link ("new window") and the "window" marked in blue appeared, which is represented by the button marked in red in the tab bar. You can see how this window disappears behind the right bar, where I have some search boxes and blurred out links. (Ignore the "djelibeibi" thing on the bottom right corner, it's just another always-on-top app.)

right, THAT is exactly the behavior i am talking about.

The second image is just after I right-clicked on the tab button and selected "detach" (and then resized and moved the now desktop-level Opera window). Note that now the new window is a full Opera one, with button bar, tab bar, etc., but it's only limited by the desktop.

hm. i don't have this "detach" option. i even just updated to be sure i had the latest version (now using Opera v.9.63). is this a plug-in or a basic function ? my opera is in french but there is nothing in the context menu of a tab that looks like "detach", and i tried some of the more ambiguous options just in case but no joy.

For the third image I checked the "Open windows instead of tabs" option in the preferences, as I said, and clicked again on the "new window" link. Now the new window does not have the button bars, but again is not limited by the parent Opera window.

this is what i would *like* to do ; but i cannot seem to manage it.
