numbers in the dock

[Hound]

After updating to the new version of Opera (9.5), I noticed a small number "1" on top of the Opera icon in the dock.  The only time I had seen this before was with Eudora when I had new, unread mail.  A number also appeared then showing the number of new messages.

For the life of me, though, I couldn't figure out what this "1" signified with Opera.  I searched for messages, windows, etc. and found nothing.  And now, to compound the mystery, the number is gone.

Any ideas what this could have been?


Thanks in advance!
