Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gcalctool

  I think this is a low priority deficiency, more than a problem bug.
  When I entered 64^33554432= (in scientific mode) gcalctool dutifully began calculating it for me without so much as a "Are you sure we have the time for this?". I did not expect it to actually start immediately, considering the figures involved. Seems to me, some sort of notice that my request would take a while should have been displayed before the attempt.
