When using web-panels, you sometimes encounter one that lets you navigate
in it with links. Sometimes the designers have been clever engough to
include links back to the panel's "front-page" on every other page too,
but this is often not the case.
When this is not the case, it is impossible to get back to the front-page
in Opera, since there is no way of getting neither mouse-gestures,
keyboard shortcuts nor buttons working in panels.

To make the situation better, it should be possible to navigate panels
using operas interface, or there should be a "reload to front" button
(with a smarter name) for each web panel.

Do you like Firefox' interface but Opera's features?

yeah. i have this problem too, especially when I'm using as panel some
page which wasn't designed for it. actually, just "navigate back" for
panel would be sufficient.
P.S. maybe there could be an option to open all webpanel links in main
window?

I agree. I think the panel should be a full-featured page (with history,
go back and forward, use gestures, extract links from it...)

Maybe a semi-full-featured (with history, go back and forward, use
gestures, maybe disable images and/or change style sheet options), with an
option to open it in a "real page".
