For each Windows application that doesn't work immediately in Wine, you may need to tweak certain settings a bit. You can find more information on Diablo II + Wine in the AppDB: Diablo II in AppDB.
I don't know about Opera but you'll want to use the Linux version of Opera. Use Wine only when no other options are available. In this case, your Opera settings are still on the Windows part of your hard-drive so you'll need to import them from there. There appear to be instructions on how to share Opera settings between Windows and Linux here but that may appear daunting. However, from what I can see the Linux version of Opera just uses the same files so you can also copy the files to the right places for your Linux installation of Opera. Does Opera have an Import/Export feature of Bookmarks and Settings? That may even be easier if you export on Windows and import on Linux. Edit: someone wrote a program for that, you could try that; the description even explicitly mentions moving settings between OSes.
