It would probably work but It actually is a bad idea to overwrite files like that. Especially those in /usr/share/applications

There is a better and update insensitive way.
Step 1. Go to /home/user/.local/share/applications

Step 2. Create operamobile-labs-open.desktop:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=0.1
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Opera-opener
Type=Application
Exec=/opt/operamobile-labs/operamobile %U
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/80x80/apps/operamobile-labs.png

Step 3. Open defaults.list (the one in /home/user/.local/share/applications) and at the end add:

Code:

x-maemo-urischeme/http=operamobile-labs-open.desktop
x-maemo-urischeme/ftp=operamobile-labs-open.desktop
x-maemo-urischeme/https=operamobile-labs-open.desktop
x-maemo-urischeme/file=operamobile-labs-open.desktop
x-maemo-highlight/http-url=operamobile-labs-open.desktop
x-maemo-highlight/ftp-url=operamobile-labs-open.desktop
text/html=operamobile-labs-open.desktop

Note that since you created a desktop file you created a link on your application screen. You can simply hide it in some folder.

BTW. There is also a hack to hide unwanted links.

First you open:
/home/user/.config/meegotouchhome-nokia/launcherbuttons.data

Then you search for the link you want to hide e.g.:
/home/user/.local/share/applications/operamobile-labs-open.desktop

The line will look something like:
/home/user/.local/share/applications/operamobile-labs-open.desktop=launcher/0/84
You then change "launcher" to e.g "hide" and in this case you get:
/home/user/.local/share/applications/operamobile-labs-open.desktop=hide/0/84

Now you can restart your phone and your done.

I think you can add

Code:

NotShowIn=X-MeeGo;

to .desktop file to disable icon.

Yes, adding that line to created .desktop file in /home/user/.local/share/applications/will hide opera icon. Simplest method.

And sorry for a silly fault. There was a '>' in the desktop file code posted in the first post. Typing mistake. Corrected it eventhough the best method is said by eccenux
