[solved] Simple Linux Calculator (not bc)

Hello,

Is there a simple calculator without scientific interface (or turned off by default) with a graphical interface* (no command line tool) in the official Arch packages (no AUR)?

* a graphical interface with buttons that is. I mean speedcrunch looks awesome:

but I'm really looking for something more like

Thanks!

UPDATE:
Turns out I just needed to spend one more minute in google image search.

gnome-calculator is what I need:

What have you tried? xorg-xcalc, gnome-calculator, kdeutils-kcalc are the ones in the repos that meet the criteria you've given so far.

Are you saying that bash is simple?

Most of the time I use 'calc'.

No love for galculator? It even has a gtk2 variant.

Edit: durr...

I'm happy with galculator.

I use dc, x48, or emacs calc mode.    You might guess that I am a fan of reverse Polish notation.
