We are dealing with average users here therefore I think it would be better
if 3+2-= produced 5. Otherwise we make user to think what to do next (in
case of + - he most probably wants to press 0, and in case of * / he wants
1).

I agree that "=" button should show result only once. Subsequent press
shouldn't produce anything IMHO. Reusing current results looks good.
