Not sure here, but you can make gcalctool look pretty silly by say maximizing 
it. Perhaps it should be fixed-size (the fixed size will naturally grow 
with the font on the buttons, I just mean gtk_window_set_resizable (FALSE)
so you can't expand it to add extra padding around the button text).
Comment 1 Rich Burridge 2003-03-12 18:55:37 UTC 
Yeah, after going back and fro on this, I tend to agree
with you. Dennis Cranston, who has been helping me with
gcalctool feels the same way. As you say, it's easy to fix.

Copying Calum (though I suspect he's already on
usability-maint), for the FinalWord(TM).

Resizing does indeed seem a bit unnecessary.  The only reason I can
think of that resizing might be useful would be if, starting from
basic mode, making the calculator bigger revealed extra scientific
buttons and put you into scientific mode, and vice-versa to shrink the
calculator down from scientific->basic mode.  But the fact that we
have a Financial mode as well kind of scuppers that idea :)

Fixed in v4.2.67.
