I'm having the same problem. I'm using the latest Gwibber stable release 2.91.3. I can't get Gwibber to open links in Opera because it keeps opening it with other browser even though i've set up Opera as my default browser. Both method (using Preferred Applications and command "update-alternatives") doesn't fix this issue. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, Opera 11, Firefox 3.6.x and Chrome beta. 
First, Gwibber opened the link using Chrome and then i removed Chrome from my system. After that, i open the link again and this time it opened in Firefox not Opera.
