I don't have one, but I do recall seeing one in my tray a long time ago, not sure if I turned it off somehow or if it was removed in recent versions...


*edit* Ah, it appears to be related to any mail/news/etc accounts you have set up. I created a dummy mail account and it appeared, and it disappeared when I removed it. I don't know if it possible to disable it any other way.

ALT-R type MSCONFIG and go find the applet and uncheck it.

detritus is correct that it is related to mail/news accounts.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem like you can switch it off through the menus or in opera:config.

One solution is to run your opera with the /notrayicon option eg. "C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe" /notrayicon

Note that you can now minimise opera to your system tray with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+H
